These next three images are of my friend matt, they are a portrait of him and his relation to his tattoos, which he tells me many more are on the way.
i think about the reasoning for tattoos and why people get them, being someone who does not have any i noticed i have never given it serious thought. matt said that he had always wanted them since a kid. i wondered why people with tattos desired to engrave their skin with permanent color, permanent being the most frightening concept to me. matt answered "your body is a canvas." i agreed.
the body is the reflection of who we are on the inside represented on the outside. to me when people say the eyes are the window to the soul i would say that their faces are pressed to close to the window, to step back and get a full image of whats on the inside we would have to understand that every skin cell of the person in front of us contributes to the full window of whats inside. if the body is a canvas then one would have to step back and view the full piece in its entirety to completely appreciate how each part of it was consciously constructed to express the individuals own honest expression of their own internal thoughts, feelings and emotions.
