Last week my Online Journalism partner Taft Nesbitt and I launched our social network for the tattooed. It is a place where people with ink can share their story because,
“Where there’s ink, there’s a story.”
At our social network Follow the Ink we welcome everyone to post about whatever they want, but the overall tattoo topic would be preferred!
It also has a lot of other awesome features!
You can:
- Post Photos
- Post Videos
- Upload Music DIRECTLY from your computer and other members!
- Blog & comment with other tattooed members!
- Interactive Google map showing all the hot tat shops in the area!! (Available next week!)
- Customize your page with wicked pre-made templates!
We already have members posting pictures of their tattoos, piercings and sharing their stories!
But the feature of our social network will be our video project. We are interviewing students about their tattoos and their stories and posting them for everyone!
Topics can range from...
• How many tattoos do you have?
• Meaning in the tattoo? Reason behind getting tattoo(s)?
• How much have you spent?
• Any regrets?
If you or friends are a student or a recent graduate within the last two to three years then you should check out our table/kiosk in the GMU Johnson Center next week!

This project is a lot about debunking myths about people who get tattoos and why they get them. We hope to help with the evolution and respect for tattoos.
As of right now, most businesses have some form of dress code that addresses the topic of tattoos in the work place. The only way to change that is to change the opinions of the employers.
So let’s talk about it! Join out social network! Stop by the JC! Or just send me an e-mail web cam video of you chatting about your ink!
