Same Image, Left angle
It's not the flesh blood that makes us brothers, but the heart
Left Arm
Right Arm
In my personal/body photography, I wanted to explore the body in a different and more personal artistic matter. Having tattoos on your body in the generation is often accepted. Tattoos are a way of expressing yourself with ink and an addiction of pain many tend to develop with time. For my project I knew I did not have to go far to capture my images. Everywhere I turn there is someone who has sat in a chair for numerous hours just to get the chance to develop a unique mural on his or her body.
Typically someone usually gets something permanent on their body that represents something of great meaning. A tattoo might be a representation of a loved one that has passed, such a strong word that many will never understand, or even an image of an unforgettable event that can be brought to life and be displayed in such a manner that no one else could possibly imagine.
Raised by my mother, I was told that a tattoo is a bad representation of your image and this is what I was taught at a young age. Now reminiscing of the past, I realize that the time period has changed, and being able to represent yourself in such a way, everyone around you is willing to realize all the negativity was old and not to many people might visualize you as a killer. There might be some exceptions to those who might be judged, but being able to represent yourself in a non-business environment is what many people accept.
