Tattoo Convention | Singapore

manda

I've been wanting to capture tattoos for quite some time and even asked if I could photograph my friend getting her derrière done (she declined). Luckily, the Singapore tattoo convention came along instead - the first to visit the country.

The first set - this is all the same guy - he was covered from neck down and as you can tell from his derrière, he was a young chap.

WOW!! That's some serious tattooing! :wow ... I like how you can't really tell that those are shots of tattoos ... I would have though those are paintings! WOW

Why wait on your friend? Jump in and get your own and shoot it while it's being done! (yes, that's my shin and ugly foot-- wanna test your photog skills? trying shooting a decent photo while someone is tattooing your shin! )

Thanks for the feedback (ouch dogwood - that's one steady hand)

Now for a mix and match .... this is possibly my fav purely because I like turquoise

This (attractive) guy had some of the best all-over tattoos.

If I can critique myself it would be my completely random approach to processing the photos, so none of my work 'hangs together' well.
