Tattooed CSULA Photo Exhibit

This photographic exhibit was inspired by this years "One Campus, One Book" selection, The Tattooed Soldier by Hector Tobar. The exhibit, conceptualized and created by Housing Services and the University-Student Union, illustrates one of the book’s themes - body art, or tattoos.  The photographs exhibited here chronicle the body art of some of our CSULA community members. Now on display in the 3rd floor library bridge (walkway between the north and south wings of the library).
