Northport Library Announces Photo Shoot For Veterans With Tattoos

NORTHPORT, NY — The Northport-East Northport Public Library plans to honor veterans with a special art gallery exhibit in November, showcasing photographs of military-inspired tattoos and the stories behind them, it announced.

The next photography session will be held at Northport Library on Wednesday, August 28 from 4 to 8 p.m. Any veteran is welcome to participate, as it's not an event exclusive to Northport.

The purpose of the exhibit, Ink Stories: Symbols of Service, is to give veterans an opportunity to share their tattoos, whether they tell the story of a service member's past achievements or are meant to honor and remember fellow soldiers.

Any veteran interested in scheduling a photography appointment should contact Kathryn Heaviside, the gallery coordinator, at 631-261-6930 or kathryn.heaviside@nenpl.org. The exhibit will run in the gallery of both libraries for the month of November.
