Stories in the Ink Brenda K Isner

In visiting the many local coffee shops in Nashville and Franklin, TN, author Brenda Isner became intrigued with the unique and colorful tattoos worn by the baristas and patrons, and asked them to share their stories. This book is the result of those conversations. Stories in the Ink is more than a collection of stories about tattoos. Through photographs and first-person accounts, each person's inner journey is made visible. Simply and honestly shared, the stories in this book reveal the questions, affirmations, struggles, painful choices, joyful memories, and deep attachments that make us unique and fully human. They are the creative expressions of lives lived with passion, all woven against the backdrop of a vibrant neighborhood coffee culture.
