In this week’s installation of Artistic Perspectives, our images will showcase tattoos and how they portray the lives of those who have them. Many people take time to honor a family member or recall a fond memory of their life through the tattoos they choose to have. This week, we ask some IUP students what tattoos they have and to explain the meaning behind the ink.
