This volume documents the intersection of personal narrative and permanent body art through a collection of illustrated interviews. By pairing detailed ink drawings of tattoos with the intimate histories of their wearers, the authors explore the motivations and emotional significance behind individual ink choices. The work serves as both a visual archive of contemporary tattoo culture and a study of how personal identity is inscribed onto the skin.
