Description
Throughout human history, people have added to their bodies iconic shapes in a way to look for identity transcendence: from flowers, dragons, snakes and butterflies, to angels and other religious figures.

The Living Tattoos project is centered in a social network platform that enables people to produce contents by customizing their own pages with texts, images and videos. Members of the community can also exchange ideas, post testimonials and plan social gatherings through the communication services provided by the platform. On the project's website page, which features a gallery of tattoos posted by users, which were photographed by digital camera or cell phone and sent to the system via the internet or MMS.

After posting a picture in the system, the image may be manipulated by an online graphical editor. The idea is that the users can adjust small details of the 2D images and prepare them for a 3D transformation.
