Backstories traces the journeys behind three large-scale tattoo works, created for Dan, Brea and Lauren.

Each work represents a profound act of commitment, trust and endurance. Years of storytelling, drawn permanently across the body and carried through life.

Reimagined in steel, the original linework becomes both portrait and monument. A permanent record of the person, the process and the story held beneath the surface.

Together, the works embody the foundation of Skin to Steel: personal narratives translated from body to object, without losing their intimacy, weight or presence.
