A new exhibition at the Ukrainian American Archives and Museum in Hamtramck documents a recent phenomenon across the Ukrainian diaspora: tattooing. 

“Since the beginning of the war in 2022, there's been a significant uptick in the use of various Ukrainian symbols, whether they be folk symbols, or national symbols to represent the nation,” Olga Liskiwskyi, executive director of the museum, said. 

Stateside paid a visit to the museum for a tour of the gallery.
