At the tattoo conventions in Warsaw (Poland), Marseille (France), Milano (Italy), Linas (France) and Bangkok (Thailand), I was captured by some friends and fellow tattoo photographers.
Warning: This is a total ego-tripping post: photos of me at tattoo conventions, plus a few from couchsurfing parties. If you ever wondered: Life as a tattoo photographer is filled with ink.

Go you! 😀
I assume tatoos get addictive. 🙂 Once you get one, you can’t stop…so you get more, and more. What a great community of artists all over the world.
The bad guy has an incredible head of art instead of hair. Bravo!

What will you do when you run out of skin to paint :S Nice to see having fun, Max!
Hehe, it’s still many tattoos before that happens. 😀 (But, I doubt it’ll happen actually – just a few more now) 😂😂😂
Strangely, my road is also filled with ink, but in a TOTALLY different way LOL
