Chris is presently completing a black & white book documenting tribal tattooing and scarification around the globe. The book blends the tradition of marking the body within ancient cultures, with its use by contemporary Western Culture. The images range from ritualized facial tattooing of the Maori culture in New Zealand, to street gang tattooing in America and Europe.

The book, Ancient Marks, will be published Fall 2004. To see information on Ancient Marks, click here.
