Abstract:
Alison McGhee and other tattoo artists at Glenn’s Tattoo Service in Carrboro are often asked to cover up old tattoos with new ones. For her new children’s book Tell Me a Tattoo Story, McGhee asked social media followers to post their favorite tattoo and tell the story behind it. Some of them were about tattoos that they regretted, either because the art was horrible or the sentiment behind it had changed.
