Finding images to match a stereotype...

Jun 22, 2012

A customer has asked for us to create a scenario designed to challenge prejudice and/or assumptions that people have. 

I am looking for an image that shows heavily tattooed person walking towards the camera - if they have an aggressive posture that would be even better.  The scenario will then walk you through how that person is treated.

Is anyone aware of where I would be able to find any photos that feature someone matching this stereotype?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Helen,

I posted this in the BBC forum, where you'd also asked this question. Not sure where you'll look first, so copied/pasted here

I just quickly searched at these three sites and found some "tattooed people", although I don't know if they'll meet your needs:

Hopefully that will get you started. I'm sure other community members will chime in.

Hi Again,

This is a P.S. In searching for an answer to another question, I came across this link where David Anderson has put together a list of stock image sites. I bet if you search through these, you can find something! Good luck

Oh, and thanks all for the questions, since it prompted my getting to this link, and to you, David. I have my own list of resources I've been putting together since being a community member, and I'm going to add this to it.
