More Description

Tattle Tales is a collection of portraits and stories of people who have adorned, and for some, dedicated their body to the art of tattoos. Photographer and writer, Brandy Isadora, interviews people from different backgrounds who have embraced this art. They share their stories and the reason behind their tattoos. In the last decade the art of tattoos, as well as the perception of tattoos, has changed. Once stigmatized by society, tattoos are becoming more accepted and appreciated. Even though social media and tattoo reality shows have brought more acceptance for tattoos, stereo types and even discrimination still exist, particularly for those people who have large exposed tattoos. Isadora's book reflects how prevalent tattoos have become and how we really should never judge a book by its cover. Through her interviews and photographs, Isadora shows how the world of tattoos is expanding into the mainstream and changing how we think about art.
