I have visited more than 200 Atayal tribal villages around the island and found more than 200 living elders with tattooed faces.Among them, more than 190 were willing to be interviewed and photographed. And so, through words and photos, I recorded the form of their tattoos and their experience of living with them.
走訪目前台灣全部現存泰雅族的兩百多個部落，逐一找尋現存的文面老人，共計尋找出文面老人二百多位，並向其中願意接受訪問和攝影的一百九十多位老人，就他們個人的生命史、文面經歷和文面形式做文字和攝影紀錄。
