"Humans have been recording a variety of information on their skins for as long as dermal records exist . Recent surveys indicate that 14% of Americans have one or more tattoos . In addition to their artistry, tattoos document personal and community histories, group relationships, and social affiliations . This session explores issues surrounding these records, which have both a permanent nature and an ephemeral nature." - The LB: #TeamMonique
