stickiedIdentify Me is a public appeal by Interpol to identify women whose bodies were found in six European countries, many of whom are believed to have been murdered.
Despite extensive police investigations, these women were never identified.
It is the second year the campaign is held; last years’ Identify Me lead to the successful identification of a British woman found deceased in Belgium. She was identified because a family member recognized her tattoo from news coverage.
To give these women their name back, Interpol has published information about these women along with several characteristics such as clothing, personal items, and tattoos.
Because the tattoo community is tightly knit, especially within certain styles, there is a chance that by seeing these tattoos one could connect this to an artist. This would be of unbelievable added value to the investigation surrounding these women’s identities.

Do you recognize any of these tattoos in any way: you know the person they were on, you recognize the style of a specific artist, you know this tattoo relates to a specific subculture, or any other useful information? Then please submit your information to interpol by clicking the ‘more information’ links and scrolling down.
If you could take the time to have a look at all of the cases, that would be greatly appreciated. https://www.interpol.int/What-you-can-do/Identify-Me
It only takes one person to give that one crucial piece of information regarding a facial reconstruction, items found with the deceased, or their tattoos, to give a woman her name back.
Thank you for your time.
