TATOO

A photographic journey through the aesthetic of the modern day tattoo. Once reviled by polite society as the province of sailors, soldiers, bikers, and the lower class, tattooing has finally entered the mainstream. Proudly displayed by celebrities, pop stars, and the average person on the street, tattooing has emerged from the taint of the back alley parlor and entered the realm of high fashion. Seen by many as an indispensable means of personal expression, body art has entered into its golden age.
