Tattoos Photoshoot

I asked people who have tattoos why they had them what do they mean?


 This is a contact sheet from a photo shoot i had with a man named Spike.  He had tattoos all over his body and most were inspired by his love of films.

 

Investigating why people have tattoos I found that they have different meanings behind why they have them.

The tattoos on these two picture say Super Moras.   This is the motto on the Bolton councils coat of arms.

The elephant stands on moorland to suggest the towns old name "Bolton-super-Moras" or "Bolton on the Moors"

The reason this man had this tattooed on him was because his Dad is the Mayor of Bolton.

The tattoos on this man arms are the names of his children
