Tattoo Portrait Photography…Buffalo Arts Studio Trimania 2015

I've been shooting tattoo portraits for quite awhile now, including some photographed at an earlier Trimania.  I've always enjoyed the stories behind the images people choose to illustrate on their bodies -- and appreciated the tattoo artistry as well. 

Recently, I was asked to photograph local chefs and their tattoos.  Phil is the young executive chef at Tappo in Buffalo.  His calamari and fork seem particularly appropriate given his line of work.  His is one of a series of "Storied Flesh" portraits that will be exhibited beginning this Saturday at the Buffalo  Arts Studio's Trimania .  Trimania is a fundraiser for the Buffalo Arts Studio and celebrates arts and artists in Buffalo..

I hope you can join the festivities at the 2015 Trimania on April 18th.  Check out the tattoo portraits in the Tri-Main Office as you enter the event.
