Orange Tattoo Company and Memorial Ink has joined forces to help pay tribute to all of our fallen soldiers. They are seeking individuals who are willing to be interviewed on video tape about their memorial tattoos. Below is some information about the Memorial Ink organization and how they plan to pay tribute to all of our fallen soldiers.
Memorial Ink is a new organization devoted to recording and telling the stories of current American service personnel and veterans who have tattoos in memory of comrades who have fallen while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Memorial Ink was founded by Andrew Ranson, a high school history teacher who has long been interested in the impact of war and the treatment of veterans. Alison Harbaugh, the Media Director for Memorial Ink, is a long-time local photographer who is interested in story-telling through multimedia, and the experience of average citizens, wherever they live. Their shared vision for Memorial Ink is that the individuals who have served and sacrificed in military action will be remembered, and Memorial Ink will be an on-going tribute to their legacies.
Video documentary interviews and photographs of the tattoos will be published eventually on a website devoted to recording these living memorials for their historical significance. The interview is your chance to honor a fallen friend in your own voice. We will be conducting the interviews at local tattoo shops around the Annapolis/Baltimore/DC area over the next month . Please contact us via email at memorialinkproject@gmail.com to be considered as one of the first to tell your story. In your email, please give us a summary of your story. Photographs of your memorial tattoo are welcomed.
