Etched in Skin

Last year I had the opportunity to photograph my friend Kari and her collection of tattoos that included fairy wings that cover a large portion of her back. Shortly after that session, she mentioned that she would soon be adding to her collection of body art. The piece is finally finished. It is a large and impressive tattoo covering the majority of her thigh where a skull, snakes, and colorful flowers blend effortlessly with the natural curves of her body.
