My Road Is Filled With Ink

Posted on by

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.

  2. 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!
