| Kristin I started this longtime project more than 15 years ago analogue. Later on i switched to digital and it got published in a book as well as exhibited at Barlach Halle K and the europäische Zentrum für Künste. It`s time to show a bit more including some questions to the persons i portrayed. 1. You have a lot of dog motifs, how come? The two portraits show my deceased dog Kasi. He was my big love and I have dedicated many tattoos to him. 2. Which of your motives is particularly important to you? Definitely the banderole under the chest "My heart for the family“. I am an absolute family type of guy. 3. What do you get inspired by? It is different, many things also arise spontaneously. My body got lyrics or quotes from films. I connect flowers and ornaments together. The inspiration is more the topic what brings me to this tattoo. 4. What else adorns your body besides tattoos, and is there a background to? Piercings, but few as I'm not that big of a fan. I've had my ears stretched since I was 16 years old and they are a prominent part from me, that was also the first step into the scene. The stretched septum is my absolute favorite, it hurt a lot and I would never want to give it up. 5. Which scene tattoo or behavior bothers you the most? I am bothered by the people who see the visible parts (neck / hands) as first get tattooed so that everyone can see, "wow they are amazing“. This is my personal opinion because I think neck as well as hand tattoos are Supreme discipline. 6. Which motive do you still find provocative these days? Then as now as forever, right-wing extremist motives (and NO, I'm not talking about a swastika) 7. Do you like the photo? Well ... I am an honest and self-critical person. The photos reflect the day very well. Unfortunately I had a cold and you can see it. #photoproject #storiesonskin #artphotography #tattoosofinstagram #barlachhallek #tattooproject #doubleexposure #inkedportraits #europäischeszentrumderkünste #photoseries #itsnotajob #itswhatiamdoing #photoseries #tattoo #tats #inked https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmMQs-Hp3b/?igshid=biufthbcttdi
