Line 82:
* One of the plastinated figures in the "Body Worlds" museum exhibit is of a peeled human body holding its own skin.
* Gaius Flaminius wore a gallic scalp attached to his helmet. Unsurprisingly, when the gauls had the chance to kill him in the Battle of Lake Trasimene, they took it.
* The [[Yakuza]] are well known for their full-body tattoos, an expensive and painful way they show their affiliation to their leaders. What isn't as widely known is, when a such a Yakuza is killed by a rival gang (or occasionally, [[You Have Failed Me| his own gang]]) the victim is often skinned, his skin preserved in some way, and the tattooed skin [[Dead Guy on Display| displayed in some private museum]], often after being sold on the black market.
