Well since we didn't really get started on this project until Monday of this week, I'm not really far and I don't really have much on my site. What I'm trying to accomplish with my site, is showing that no matter how abstract or how off-beat someones' tattoo looks, it does tell a unique story. Tattoos of all shapes, designs, sizes, colors, and words mean something no matter what it is. No matter how little the story actually is, it's a story to that single person. Tattoos absolutely amaze me because of all the details the clients AND the artists put into them.
A cool thing I'm going to add onto my site will be two videos. Each with an interview of each of my parents talking about their tattoos and the meanings that they wanted to get from the art. My mom has about 4 or 5 with only one of them being not so meaningful. :) While my dad has between 8-10 and each and everyone pretty much has a story or meaning behind it. For my mom, each of her tattoos, in order, tell a chronological story about her last 10 years or so in life. I am really looking forward to doing these interviews and be able to share their stories with many others. So as I'm including their interview onto my site, I'll be evaluating what the strongest or most important pieces of their narration.
An issue I'm finding to be present all the time with making this site is searching for strong, incredible links and pictures that show the depth in tattoos that I really am trying to show on my site. I know that there will always be those people who think tattoos are ridiculous and not meaningful as well as people who do think they're meaningful but I want to find those who absolutely think tattoos are so unbelievably deep and powerful and can portray that in a picture or in text. I need to organize everything I find from most important to not that important so that I only use the very best stuff for my site design.
What my top three steps or goals are, are making a powerful section explaining how important tattoos are to some people, showing with videos and/or photos that help that, and getting feedback from family and friends on what I could do more.
