08/09/2021 02:55 PM  We Wear Our Stories. A few opening words... Every show is personal. Every picture tells a story. So why did I pick this theme, take all these pictures and put them together and invite people to come look at them? I gotta go back a few years to explain this choice. When I was younger I found body art, art in general interesting yes but it wasn’t something I saw as a career. It’s known amongst those I’m closest to that I used to be in med school. I was on track to be a physician. Then one stormy night everything changed. I don’t talk about it too much but I lost a lot that night. I didn’t even know until later just how much. Even now it’s still tough to talk about it because I don’t remember everything. It’s blurry pictures in my mind and sometimes I’m not sure what order they belong in. Long story short, stick to the facts as they were told to me, my sis and I were in a car crash. It was dark and rainy. The roads were slick and we'd been drinking. The reason it's important, because I'm not looking for sympathy, because of the trauma to my brain everything changed. Once I recovered, re-learned a lot, I was different, what I wanted was different, less structured and more meaningful. That's when I started getting ink. To keep the things I remember with me because everything I looked at I wanted to know that story. Of course the other change was leaving med school and enrolling in art school so I could learn everything about photography. Many know my specialty is abandoned places. Decay. Graffiti. These things fascinate me because again, so many stories. So the natural progression is tattoos and why this ink at this time in this place. People have different reasons, I can't tell you every detail, you have to look at them because they speak for themselves.       Title: The First                                                                                               Model: Katsurō Title: Ever Expanding       Model: Katsurō                                                              Title: Hidden                                                                                                                                       Model: Masuji Title: Revelation      Model: Masuji                                                                        Title: Reflection                                                                                                                                      Model: Masuji Title:Pensive     Model: Masuji                                                                              Title: The Clown                                                                                                             Model: Yoshiatsu  Title: Just a Moment       Model: Yoshiatsu                                                                   Title: For the Recollection                                                                                     Model: Yoshiatsu            Title: Baby Girl    Model: Wren                                                           Title: Complete                                                                                                                                                       Model: Wren       Title: Butterfly   Model: Yuh                                                           Title:  Tapestry                                                                                                  Model: Haku   Title: Waking     Model: Heidi                                                                                            Title: Chaotic                                                                                                                        Model: Emily   Title: Vixen    Model: Vanessa                                             Title:Destruction                                                                                      Model: Nameless                                          53 Comments
