A Few New Tattoo Photos from the Us Tattooed Kids: Arkansas Project
This project is an outgrowth of an article and radio piece that are both in the works. Due to the large response this research, the project has grown to a more interactive format and will hopefully continue to grow and grow. You can help us out by spreading the word. Thanks!

Here are just a few new photos being sent to Facebook. To see more go here. The Tumblr page is in the works. Stay tuned for that.
Here’s on from Rick Millard of Dardanelle, Arkansas, one of a few out there that have the Black Flag symbol merged with the state outline.
From Rick Millard. Tattoo by Ramses Shadow in Memphis. 2003.
From an email interview with Rick: “To me Arkansas is the most geographically unique state that exists, and correct me if I’m wrong but what other states have: A delta region, mountains, plains, timberlands, all in the same state?, there isnt another state like this. plus Arkansas is the only place you can mine for Diamonds. there are so many wonderful people here, and places to visit, live and spend time. I could go on and on.”
And here’s one uploaded to the group from Benjamin Singleton.
From Benjamin Singleton. Tattoo by Caleb Pritchet at Electric Heart in Little Rock.
From his facebook post: “For me, the most important aspect is the concept of home… thanks to caleb at electric heart for the design and application.”
~ Stay tuned for the article and the radio piece…..after that, who knows?
