Into The Skin

Overview:

George Mavridis and the show "Into the Skin" follow the marks that people have engraved on them in every corner of the globe and look for the stories that are hidden behind them! Guided by his love for tattoos, George travels and meets tribes, peoples and gangs, difficult to access and dangerous. Every mark on them is part of their tradition and culture. Each tattoo, mark or scar means something special to them - and their stories are riveting. What is the significance for everyone? What does it mean? For some tribes, there are signs that indicate adulthood, marriage, profession, origin or even position in the group hierarchy, some tribes escaped extinction, others slavery and others death. George Mavridis unfolds different stories and personal paths "engraved" on the skin.
