Once a fringe phenomenon, tattooing in 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 is the first book of its kind to combine photographic tattoo portraits with the stories behind them. Featuring people from all walks of life – from college students to rock stars, suburban moms to Hells Angels, gangbangers to CEO's to pornstars – their stories are told in the subjects' own words and handwriting. With a foreword by renowned tattooer Horitak! and interviews with celebrity tattooers Kat Von D (LA Ink) and Oliver Peck (Elm Street Tattoo), and hardcore music legend Evan Seinfeld. Featuring images including Margaret Cho, Slash, Scott Ian Scott Weiland, Paul Stanley, Chuck Liddel and Joan Jett.
