Note 352 — Chapter XVII · EROTIC ART
Reading edition
Berchon, “Le tatouage,” in Actes de l’Académie de Bordeaux, 1885, pp. 806, 807. Cf. also Joest, Tätowiren, pp. 29, 53-55, 60-65. Although Berchon himself remarks (p. 811) that in Polynesia the reverence for tattooing is dying out, he has not happened to think that this circumstance may have been the cause of the laxity in tattoo composition.
