Tattoo/Flash explores the rich history and modern artistry of tattooing, celebrating it as a dynamic and evolving art form. This exhibition showcases the cultural significance of tattoos, highlighting their ability to bridge tradition and innovation, personal expression, and visual storytelling. Featured works range from realistic paintings of tattoo shops to sgraffito tattoo imagery on clay.

Adding an interactive element to the exhibition, Steve Zimovan of Remember Me Tattoo will be live tattooing in the exhibition space of the Lower Level Gallery during the opening reception.
