Permanence: Tattoo Portraits by Kip Fulbeck

Author Kip Fulbeck presents an assortment of photographs where each person is presented next to a handwritten note about his/her tattoo. The collections range from the meaningful (“Holocaust survivor,” serial number tattoo), the silly (“I’ve had sex before, fake mustaches are way better,” woman with mustache tattoo on side of index finger) to the quizzical (“I Love Bacon,”spelled out on toes).
