Perhaps the most amazing part of taking photos of women's tattoos at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival was hearing the stories of what their tattoos meant to the women, who had inked them, and what tattoos they were hoping to get in the future.

I've just begun to post these photos in a new gallery called "Womyn's Tattoos." Click here to see it. But keep checking back. This is just the beginning!
