Tattoos are unique and personal to the individual. Jack Francis asks some Butler students about their tattoos and what it means to them.
Tattoo Tales: Emma Maaske
“From a butterfly with a music note on her wrist to a sea turtle on her ribs to a cross with a Scripture on her ankle, Maaske embraces a spontaneous approach to body art with the goal of memorializing meaningful people and moments in her life.”
Tattoo Tales: Sydney Taylor
“He wrote to me in this long letter and the opening line is ‘Luck appears only to leave, but you had the type of luck to shape a life’. This tattoo is in his handwriting from the letter.”
Tattoo Tales: Tatiana Pereda
“I [see] getting a tattoo as a representation of a moment in time. It [shows] growth because you can look back at it and say, ‘wow, I have grown so much since this tattoo.”
Tattoo Tales: Sophie Graham
Graham merges personal significance with spontaneous exploration through her tattoos.
Tattoo Tales: Lauren Stubbs
“When I travel, I like to go to walk-in places. That’s a souvenir that sticks with you forever.”
Tattoo Tales: Lucy Smith
“I enjoy [the tattoo] in the moment. It has meaning in the moment. It has good memories attached to it.”
