The week before the Zoom call with Rich Stremme, we were given the option to hear him talk about graffiti, rock music, or tattoos. I was most interested in tattoos because many people have them, and I was curious about the history and art behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the week of the Zoom call, we worked on our graffiti projects while also listening to Rich via Zoom. He gave a presentation on the history of tattoos, and talked about his personal experience. I learned that tattoos have a long history to them as they have evolved over time. I found it interesting that Rich still incorporates many of the old tattoo styles in his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was most intrigued by Rich\u2019s experience with Pat. She served as a role model for him and taught him a lot about the industry. I found it interesting when Pat denied 5 sorority girls who wanted to get identical dolphin tattoos. She would only give the girls tattoos if each dolphin was different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
