The
   ANCIENT MARKS book and Exhibition explore the intrinsic connection between
            mankind's culture and the old tradition of marking the human
            body dating
            back
            two
            thousand
            years, 
  with tattoos and scarification as a form of initiation, beauty, and
  highly
  ritualized ornamentation. 
  
  That tradition continues in today's 
  modern Culture. The ANCIENT MARKS Project—through photography
  and text - communicates man's need to adorn the
  sacred geography of the human body.
