INK: Stories on Tattoos

Kaia Sherman

The art that people choose to place permanently on their body and their personal interpretations can often tell us a lot about who they are. The practice of tattooing has been embedded in cultures across the globe for over 4,000 years developing a rich history holding significance to this day.
INK: Stories on Tattoos uses digital storytelling to explore the role that tattoos play in our culture through documented personal stories and experiences. By looking into a person’s life thorough their body art, we are offered insight into their relation to self and their view of the world around them.
