Update on the new book
I have talked to fifty people so far and the photos and stories I have received have been fascinating. It seems that every tattoo has some special meaning to the owner or wearer which would never be realized by the average passerby. That's what I am trying to accomplish with this work - what people have placed on their bodies speaks volumes to the type of person that they are inside, we have to look past our preconcived notions and prejudices to discover the true meanings behind the tattoos. Everytime I receive a new photo of a tattoo and hear the story behind it I am amazed.

I replied to your email, and it sounds like you're starting an interesting project. If possible, could you provide a bit more info on the "focus" of the book, some of your background (already looked, and what I found seems impressive). I'm curious if there's an "agenda" (not necessarily meant as a negative comment), and get some more specifics. Don't think I've met one person without a story behind each ink-art they display......
Could be a very interesting book, and since you've contacted me, and I have ink and stories, fill me in a bit (please) and you could decide if I have stories relevant to your book.
Good luck and thanks for the contact,
bobbie
