Permanent Collection Tattoos
Skin Deep
Project Details

This is a self-promotional piece that I created in one of my portfolio preparation classes at Middle Tennessee State University. Focusing on my illustration style, which, at the time, was heavily influenced by tattoo art, I pieced together a booklet which married design nomenclature and the tattoo art subculture. I located an inkjet paper designed specifically for transferring pigments to skin, and applied temporary tattoos to some of my classmates for the photographs featured in the booklet.
