Once a fringe phenomenon, tattooing is now a full-blown cultural fact. More than 40 million people in the U.S. alone have tattoos, all with unique stories about why they chose to indelibly mark their bodies. Permanence combines photographic tattoo portraits with these stories, told in the subjects' own words and handwriting. Kip Fulbeck brings together young and old of all races, religions, and political persuasionsfrom celebrities to suburban moms to Hells Angels. Including interviews with celebrity tattooers Kat Von D and Oliver Peck (Miami Ink), hardcore legend Evan Seinfeld, and some regular folks, Permanence is an entertaining and enlightening portrait of the tattooed population today.

Our successes, joys, mistakes, and failures are all recorded on our skins. And just like life itself, sometimes they aren’t perfect. Sometimes they’re even tragic. But they are real.

Can always look down at my arm and look at my dad. And he loves the tattoo, so it’s cool. What brought you guys here from Mexico? My brother, my sister, and I were born in Monterrey in Nuevo León, Mexico. But my family is actually from Argentina. My parents were missionaries for the church at the time and they were going to school in Mexico and doing missionary work and whatnot. And the three of us were born and then we came to America. What do you think about how tattoos have changed in.
That there is a God. And for me, you know, it’s the God of the Bible and that God is always with me and cares about me. And that’s one thing I knew for absolute sure and that I still know. So, I just kind of wanted to remind myself of that in this whole world of change. That there is something permanent for me, right there. So I was flipping through images, Christian iconography, on the Web. And I didn’t want to get a cross because it seems kind of cliché. I wanted something a little more unique,.
Particularly in the “scholarly” arena. Being a tattooed person and a tattooer focusing on the Japanese style of art myself, I came across one such conjecture that strikes me as grossly unfair and worthy of rebuttal. Early Chinese reports and archaeological findings evidence Japanese tattoos and body arts dating back thousands of years. In the current world of Japanese tattooing, the bodysuit design affecting the appearance of a large area of the body is salient. The roots of this current.
