An Inked Glimpse
A look into tattoos. Whether it has cultural significance or personal meaning, many wear tattoos as a part of themselves. Tattoos hold different meanings to everyone, a commemorative piece for someone in their lives, a marker for the choices they make, or even it brings them joy. Tattoos hold a story that’s personal to those who have them etched into their skins, not only a visual marker of who they are but also a glimpse of themselves. They may be permanent but they can hold much meaning and history that can even last for us. This booklet takes a look at several individuals with tattoos and peaks into why they got their tattoos and what it means to them, along with spreads that show a quick look at tattoos throughout human history.
