Tattoos are a work of art permanently inked in the skin. Every drop of ink has a story behind it and a talented artist that created it. I decided to compose this book because I am an artist that admires other talented work. I enjoy hearing the different stories behind the ink and I had fun meeting all the amazing people who helped me put this together. This is not meant to simply showcase a body of tattoo work, this project goes to another level as the images are close and personal, just like the stories behind the ink. Not every tattoo has a written piece attached to it, some of them you just have to imagine.
