Physical data

I thought about how to use information and data within a illustration, and how data translate is Based on circles this led me to think about the things I am interested in, tattooing was my first thought I researched so certistics associated with tattooing e.g. 17% of people regret having a tattoo, 24% of people aged 16-50 have at least one tattoo. After researching this it then led me to think about the certistics 17% combining this with henna designs as henna is semi perminant and reflects what that percent of people would of liked for their tattoos to fade away.

Instead of using any random pattern from henna designs I need to research the origanal history of henna, the numbers that I use in the certistics and perhaps dream catchers as the designs I experimented with remind me of dream catchers.
