Guys;

It is a known fact that many creative people also have some great tattoos.

We talked so much about the models and their tattoos... how about the photographers... or MUA/Stylists.

Anybody cares to display what you got?

Model your tattoo here... maybe you can share a little story about the meaning...

I have mine. Funny story actually. I went out for ice cream with friends. Came back home with a tat. While the tat artist was 'creating his artwork' there was suddenly a girl fight outside. He actually stopped working on my tat to go outside and see the girls fight. ( I'm rolling my eyes here ) So yeah now my tat is a bit crooked. But shhhhh lol Anyways you can kind of see it in my swim suit shot on my port. It's tribals with a heart in the middle. And its located on my lower back. I just saw it and fell in love with it and had to have it right then and there. I like the heart in the middle because Love is everything to me.

LMAO... I am keeping my shirt on Doug... that's why I didn't post anything here yet...

But I am really interested to see other peoples work.

Hey... at Fashionweek... backstage with all the MUA's and sylists... you see so much ink, you think you are at a tattoo convention...

Thinking how many of the same people we have here... I think they should show their colors too...

Ok...so I'm going to look like the biggest dork in the world, but here it is:

https://raveneyes.com/pics/Campics/Jus-James/11-2-1/DSCN1225.JPG

Yes...it's my logo.

No at the time it wasn't my logo...sigh...I just...well I like the image so much I made it my logo.

It's a raven (though I've had it called a dove, a bird, an eagle...etc) done in a tribal style which I drew one day at work...back when I worked in tech support for a living.  When I got it, I; had just finished a relationship, was thinking about changing jobs, was re-discovering photography, was 24, and I was looking for something.

Hopefully I've found it.

I've had a tribal shark on my back for years.

It's a more about surfing than photography.

Nikon refused to sponsor their name on my forehead.. bastards!

It doesn't matter if you keep the shirt on or off anymore.  My retina's are seared.  Underneath the long sleeved brown shirt, probably is the obligatory tabacoo stained wife beater vest. You spitting out a waddle, cursing the model "yo, beyoatch. i don't have all day. Why you still dressed? let's take some pics."

wink
