Torso is an amazing collection of work spanning 16 years, that documents the burgeoning tattoo phenomenon across the United States and Pacific Islands; these photographs are slick and darkly addictive…reflecting artistic expression that links to both personal and social identity, the telling of stories on the skin, of being and belonging.
