Tattoo Artists Node
About the node:
Tree tattoos often hold personal meaning. They can represent grief, growth, healing, family, ancestry, survival, transformation, or a place someone never wants to forget. This node highlights the stories behind those images and shows how trees become part of identity, memory, and creative expression. By working with tattoo clients, artists, and local collaborators, this node expands TOUTI’s storytelling into a visual and deeply personal space.
