The Vanishing Tattoo web site and documentary film series is devoted to the amazing history, powerful rituals and extraordinary social significance of tattooing in many different cultures around the world.

In addition to examining and displaying tattoo designs, both ancient and modern, a more important objective of the www.vanishingtattoo.com web site is to try and discover the meaning behind body art - art that is inked into skin. As tattooing increasingly enters mainstream culture, we find ourselves asking: Are the tattoos we see on the sidewalks of Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, London and New York in any way connected to the body art still to be found in the jungles and ancient civilizations of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific? Why have tattoos been so important to their owners down through the ages? Why are they a universal phenomenon? Find these answers and more at Vanishing Tattoo.
