Shawn Barber





Shawn Barber continues his documentation of tattoo culture through his latest collection of paintings. His work features portraits of tattooed individuals and also scenes from a tattoo studio. The exhibition, titled "Tattooed Portraits: Snapshots," can also be viewed online. Jess Hemerly interviewed Barber for 7x7:

“I have no tattoos but I admire beautiful ink, and there's something about your paintings that makes me want to cover myself in tattoos. What draws you to ink as a subject?” 

Shawn Barber: The medium saturates everything that I do. Tattooing gives so much more than it takes. It allows an individual to acknowledge life with permanent markers. Getting tattooed is a leap of faith that reminds you of that exact time and place for the rest of your life.

Gijs gets a special feature because he's special. 
I've admired his work from afar & then he contacted me to show me his ink. If that's not meant to be, I don't know know what is.
Gotta love that lion.
