How Tattoos Became American (Ilana Cohen)

Ilana took an American icon, the tattoo, separated history from culture, found the roots of the artform, talked to those pushing its limits today, and began contributing her own designs based on what she learned. This is Ilana Cohen's formal presentation of her 2011 Senior Year Project at Newton North High School in Newton, Massachusetts. Visit her project at http://colorculture.wikispaces.com
