'A SEAT AT THE TABLE' Black Tattoo Anthology Archive Project

"Tattoo has been demonized, colonized and marginalized; then repackaged and resold to Black people as if it's not been one of our oldest forms of communication, identification, and healing since the beginning of time." 

Imani K Brown, Project Lead, Black Tattoo Anthology

The Black Tattoo Anthology in its original form, addresses the historical erasure of Black artists and Black tattoo culture. 

The project will create an anthology that chronicles the Black tattoo experience from professional artists with at least five years in their craft and outlines the historical milestones, movements, and contributions of Black artists and artistry to the tattoo industry. 

DROPPING SPRING 2025

This collection will be created, curated, maintained, and Web Monetized by Black practitioners and the tattoo community.

The stories will be shared both digitally and in physical form.
