INKED. The Story Behind The Art..

Inked. The Story Behind The Art. is a photographic project all about capturing and showcasing the beauty, significance and individuality of the participants’ and their inked masterpieces.

I photographed all of these amazing people in an unforgettable transformative journey of self-love and reflection, all of which will be showcased in a hard cover printed magazine and on social media.

THE WHY BEHIND THE PROJECT

As a portrait photographer, my passion lies not just in capturing faces but in telling the unique stories behind them. Tattoos are more than just ink on skin; they are powerful narratives, personal expressions and often significant milestones in a person's life. Each tattoo carries a story, a memory or a belief and through this project, I aim to explore and celebrate those individual journeys.

In today's world, tattoos are increasingly embraced as forms of art and self-expression, yet they can still evoke a mix of admiration and misunderstanding. This project seeks to bridge that gap by highlighting the beauty, diversity and emotional depth of tattooed individuals. By showcasing your ink and the stories behind them, we can challenge stereotypes, foster understanding and create a space for dialogue about identity, culture and personal history.

I hope that all who participate are to be seen not just as a canvas, but as a person with a rich narrative. Their tattoos are a part of who they are and through this collaboration, we have created a visual tapestry that honours the artistry of ink and the depth of human experience.

For me, a tattoo is an art
installation that I get to wear
all the time. It's all about
self-expression. You get to
wear your insides on your
outside.
