Unintentional Monuments to Katrina: Katrina-GRIEF

The Katrina cross, a monumental symbol of courage and grief; the search and rescue symbol that was seen spray painted on buildings that were searched after the hurricane and flood, providing information on what was found inside of the homes and buildings. Tattoo artist Keel shows a snap shot from his portfolio of a tattoo he did on a New Orleans fire department EMT who came into his shop after the disaster. The EMT already had a tattoo on his arm of the city's symbol of the star and the crescent moon shape that he wanted altered; He asked Keel to make a tattoo of the spray painted X with the date of Katrina and the total number of dead from the disaster.
