Karger Publishers states that tattoos “can be a symbol of both individuality and group affiliation”, the reasoning behind getting a tattoo are “complex” and differ from person to person. There is a shared human experience in the desire for self-expression, wanting to project the inward to the outward.

“Inking The Soul” is an interactive print and digital typographic project which encourages people to be open minded and to learn about the different cultures who built the building blocks for tattooing today, and to learn how we are all connected as human beings, with the focus on tattoo and pattern.
