Methodologically ambitious, The Tattoo Project shows the multi-layered meanings behind commemorative tattoos, giving voice and space to the people who embody them. It also challenges us to re-think collaboration and community through the creation of an open digital archive that extends into the public sphere, and how the tattooed body is an inimitable archive in and of itself.” - Mary Kosut, School of Natural and Social Sciences, Purchase College, SUNY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As a unique form of human expression, tattooing transmits a vast body of information about who we are, where we come from, our desires and fears, and who we aspire to be. It offers one of the most powerful biographical, artistic, and intellectual statements on cultural diversity, visual communication, and commemorative agency. The authors of The Tattoo Project bring these profound perceptions to life, generating a timely interdisciplinary study that provides critical new understandings of body-marking and its role in self-making.” - Lars Krutak, Tattoo Anthropologist, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Introducing The Tattoo Project, Deborah Davidson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection I.
