A. It seemed that everyone I met who had a tattoo had a story to go with it. Usually, I found the story made the tattoo even more interesting.  The more I looked into this, the more fascinated I became.  I grew up in a family that had a lot of art going on; my father managed a couple commercial art galleries, my mother painted, her father was a cartoonist, painter, sculptor, wood carver.  The idea of the human body as a canvas is extremely powerful.  The person becomes one with the art.  I've be absolutely amazed by what I've seen done from an artistic sense and I wanted to show my appreciation by featuring the art, artist, and collector along with the variety of styles and forms.
