tattoo selection from 2011

This selection from 2011 is a little more varied to show different approaches I took in my work.

I’ve never been very interested in photographing my work because I’m either too tired and my mind is elsewhere, the tattoo is too fresh or awkward, or the client just wants to get going. For me, the creation is the important part and I always have difficulty accepting that documenting the work is part of the creative process.

Suffice it to say, I’ve got thousands of really poor photos of my work. It doesn’t help that I don’t design tattoos with photos in mind, and most of my stuff is difficult to capture in a single shot.

Thanks for looking.
