In Tattooed Women (1992), the most natural canvas, the human body, meets the most progressive art form, the tattoo. Through Wroblewski’s stunning visual document, Tattooed Women captures a world where modesty gives way to bold narratives full of color and progressive imagery, as women redefine their identity, beauty, and self-expression—all in revelation of their obsessions with and dedication to the ritual of ink.

Chris Wroblewski is considered the world’s foremost photographer of tattoo art. He began documenting tattoos in 1976 and has published over fifteen books on the subject.

For the obsessed.
