《Mauvais garçons : Portraits de tatoués (1890-1930)》——与中国一样，文身在过去的法国是黑暗世界的标志，罪犯暴徒身上的文身往往都跟他们之前的罪行和牢狱生活有关。从1831年开 始，法国政府就开始系统性的记录这些囚犯的文身，用来研究犯罪行为。

Tattoos have become ubiquitous in our society. However, for decades in France they were almost exclusively associated with the underworld, and often documented time spent in prisons overseas and/or at home. Whether from Paris, Lyon or Marseille, bad boys of the day exhibited on their very skins proof of hoodlum identity: the stigmata of a marginal existence. To be part of the mafia in the beginning of the 20th century meant to have syphilis — and tattoos… These photographs, taken during arrests, are a unique portrait gallery of criminals the naked skins of whom reveal sadness, a thirst for revenge, obscene drawings, remembrances of Africa… the many “poetic expressions of hoodlum sadness,” as Albert Londres eloquently put it.

Vilaines filles, mauvais garçons

«Il n'est pas âme qui vive

Qui me plaise autant que toi

Si tu étais plus naïve

Je t'apprendrais tout ce que tu sais déjà.»

- Serge Gainsbourg
