Skin Deep

The FBI is using AI to track tattoos and identify suspects, feeding it over 15,000 images of inmates, often including deeply personal details like names, faces, and birthdates. This raises ethical concerns about using prisoners as test subjects and whether tattoos, often tied to identity and culture, can fairly represent a person.

I wanted to test what this AI system might see, so I built my own tattoo generator to explore how difficult it is to differentiate tattoos. The project investigates the line between art and criminality—when is a tattoo seen as criminal? By generating and analyzing mixed tattoo styles, this work challenges stereotypes, exposes biases in AI, and questions the reliability of such systems in law enforcement.
