Ink in the Lines

8 August - 2 October 2025

Tattoos are a conversation starter. Many members and veterans of the Australian Defence Forces have tattoos, and while their reasons for getting tattooed are as varied as the people themselves, self expression and belonging play a part. They also share a common purpose in getting inked: to remember.

Featuring more than 70 portraits detailing the experiences of 22 Australian servicemen and servicewomen, the exhibition is thought to be the first in Australia to explore the use of tattoos in the military. Ink in the Lines – An Australian War Memorial Touring Exhibition.
