As part of my research I read ‘The Map As Art’ by Katharine Harmon.
Whilst my research ultimately went off in a different direction, below are some of the images which stood out to me and which might influence some of my work going forward, but maybe not the tattoo.

But even as I’ve been flicking through the book to get the artists’ details there are others which catch my eye. I think this is a book that I will keep coming back to.
