EDITORS NOTE
Hello I am William Davidson,
currently enrolled in the Graphics
Design Program at the University
of Northern Iowa. I am the edior
and art director of this “ magazine
“. Ink Society is a magazine was
orginally created for an exhibiton
show. “Plaid, Pasiley and Polka
Dots” is a show in the Deans Tri-
angle at the University of North-
ern Iowa, Kamerick Building. The
models of the in the “ digitial tat-
tooed” pictures are reproductions
of famous peices of art and were
shot and designed to look like
them. Special thanks to my friends
for posing for the pictures and
also to Media Millita for certain
vectors and images I used in my
pieces.

7. “ The
PolkaDot
Scandal“

8. Julia Marshall asked tattooist
Johannes Vermeer (the same
man who recently tattooed his
name across the face of wife
Catharina Bolenes) for just five
circles near her eye. Vermeer
claimed she was asleep when
the artist covered her entire
face with polka dots instead.
She has since admitted her lie
(because really, who can sleep
through a needle inking your
that many times times?) and
hopes to get the rest of her
body in the same pattern.
The pattern shares its name with the dance form,
making one suspect there is a connection linking the
pattern to the dance. However, the name was likely
settled upon merely because of the dance's popular-
ity at the time the pattern became fashionable, just
as many other products and fashions of the era also
adopted the polka name. Traditionally polka dots are
used in the clothing of flamenco dancers and per-
formers. Some people associate polka dots with Ven-
ezuelan fashion designer Carolina Herrera, who used
polka dots on most of her dresses during the late 80s
and early 90s, as well as on the boxes of perfume.

12. enelope is incredible, in
every sense of the word. She
turned up a good 40 minutes
early and we got to know a
little about each other before
the shoot started. She is from
Bournemouth, she is a vegan,
she is covered from head to
foot in tattoos and she has one
of the cutest expressions in
photos that Ive seen. She said
that a lot of people think she
is no older than 16, when in
fact, she is 23. In some ways,
the tattoos do not go with the
face, but somehow, she makes
the contrast between them
and her innocent looks work.
It truly is a juxtaposition.

work!
