Tattoos: Pop Portraits, Japanese Traditional, American Eclectic

Continuing the great episodes from PBS Off Book here is their exploration of the world of tattoos. 

It seems that no matter how far we advance into the digital age, our bodies remain a place where we want to express ourselves. In this episode, they talk to three tattoo artists of differing styles. Vinny Romanelli embraces pop culture, tattooing detailed portraits of entertainment idols, Kiku works with the traditional Japanese form, and Stephanie Tamez embodies an eclectic mix of influences, with the occasional use of nice typography.
