Through a photograph by Mark Morrisroe, Hyde Cabinet #26: Inked Intimacy explores tattooing within 1980s queer communities and questions widely held assumptions about tattoos and tattooed bodies.

Mark Morrisroe (1959–1989) was a performance artist, filmmaker, and photographer known for his intimate, dream-like photography documenting queer communities in Boston and New York City in the 1980s.

The Hyde Cabinet, named in honor of Megan Hyde, former Tang Educator for College and Public Programs and Curatorial Assistant, is curated by members of the Tang Student Advisory Council. Hyde Cabinet #26: Inked Intimacy is organized by Allie Serapilio ’25.
