The skinny?

One of the students in Lived Religion in New York City sat down in front of a coffee shop in Williamsburg with a sign - "Got a religious tattoo? Want to talk about it?" Many people weren't just willing to talk, but let her take their picture. Awesome! But I need to report that one of our Religiou Studies Program alums, a body artist of some distinction, is very cynical about the significance of religious tats.
