Tattoo Macro is a Non-Commercial project. I am seeking public and private grants to fund it. It’s my aim to help people connect in a new way with the artwork that they’re wearing for a lifetime. Macro photography provides a great medium to achieve this connection, first, for the person being photographed and, second, for people appreciating it. So, the images shared on my project website, tattoomacro.com, represent this sort of experience. Seeing the art within the art is just another way of seeing and responding to a tattoo.

If you go to my website seeking tattoo nightmares or tales of tattoo triage, it won't be what you’re looking for. Instead, you’ll find photographs of tattoos on people who love their tattoos. They like them so much that they’re interested in exploring them further for art’s sake. That may sound funny, but I’m willing to bet that for a lot of people, their tattoos are the best pieces of artwork they own. My website serves as a place for them to share the stories and meanings of their tattoos in a celebratory environment.
