INK: NIRVANA OF THE MIND, BODY AND SOUL CONCEPT WORD: JOY SVERRISDOTTIR, ANNA MARGRET JMC 2644 Professor Lynn Franklin and Ken Fischer
SVERRISDOTTIR, ANNA MARGRET 12/6/17
TREATMENT TITLE: Ink: Nirvana of the mind, body, and soul
CONCEPT WORD: Joy
INCORPIRATION OF WORD WITH PROJECT: In an ever-changing environment, such as Oklahoma, where tattooing only recently became legal (Nov 2006), I wanted to explore why people get tattoos. For many the reason is selfexpression, gaining more self-esteem or reminders of a loved one or an experience. For others it boils down to the appreciation of the art or the pure joy of having a piece of art on their bodies.
FRAMEWORK: Documentary
LOG LINE: The view from industry professionals as well as tattoo collectors on the stigma, acceptance and reasons for getting tattooed and tattooing is explored through interviews and the process of receiving a tattoo.
TREATMENT: The documentary will concentrate on both industry professionals view on the community as well as the perspective of tattoo collectors, on receiving tattoos and living with them. We start out in Studio Ink, where we meet Jimmy Nation, a tattoo artist from Oklahoma. Throughout the process of him tattooing, interviews, with him, other professionals at the studio and tattoo collectors that have no ties to the industry will be weaved in. In these interviews we will get to know why these professionals chose their career, their view on the community that surrounds tattooing, the stigma they may have felt and the acceptance it gave them towards themselves. From the non-professionals we will hear a similar story, but from another perspective, why they get tattooed and the stigma or acceptance they may have found met them from themselves or others.

But that's like way less now because there's so many people that get tattooed like it's like everyone knows someone with a tattoo. It's like almost 90 percent of people in this country have one tattoo.

most of that will just be changing out jewelry and getting more tattoo work.

It does increase my times of random people coming up to me and literally grabbing my arm

And then keep going on and they're like wow I have to take a picture of it and I was like I
Tattoo Collector
guess you do. I don't know why but definitely if I'm around any older people there are like not really they will just be kind of snarky and passive aggressive about it especially if I am around my family.
Close up: Anna’s tatto’s I wanted a constant reminder that things that I Lower Third:
have gone through are not necessarily things that will define me. But others that I have

gotten have not been as meaningful. Now I just do it because I enjoy it. It is slightly

addictive and I think they look beautiful. Laughter
Close up: interview with Anna
I think the tattoo community is really really Close up: interview with Max
really cool. I've never met a tattoo artist that I haven't liked. They're all super friendly.
