BLOODWORK: LONDON

Finally tackling the daunting task of editing all the remaining footage captured during the multi continental BloodWork: Bodies adventure.  With some effort we should be able to post something every few weeks.  

Starting with BloodWork in London.  This was the point of convergence for a majority of the European tattooers and collectors participating in the project.  Everyone involve migrated here to be photographed down in the Tobacco Dock dungeon during the London Tattoo Convention.

Mid week, the whole ATAK cadre flew out together and settled into a flat.  During convention Max and I worked in the dungeon while the remainder of the group tattooed up on the main floor.  Days consisted primarily of waking, tattooing, photographing, eating, and sleeping... never in that order.  Terribly exciting.  If that's not enough for you, in the short film below you'll see some backpieces by Filip Leu, Shad, Ron Earhart, Jondix and Henning Jørgensen among others.

London was also a jumping off point to several other European shoots during the same period.  Footage of us lugging hundreds of pounds of equipment across Europe to come soon.

BLOODWORK: FILIP LEU

While we were shooting in London late last year Filip requested that, on our next visit to Japan, we photograph the suit he did for Shige to include in the BloodWork: Bodies project.  It was a request we were honored to fulfill.

BLOODWORK: BODIES: LONDON SHOOT

Over the weekend, in the dusty dungeon of the Tobacco Dock, we shot twenty backpieces and or bodysuits for the coming BloodWork: Bodies project. Many thanks to friend Miki Vialetto for giving us the space to work in during the London Convention.

Here Max is shooting Soeren who has a breathlessly beautiful bodysuit by Filip Leu.

No rest for the weary, tomorrow we are off to Paris to shoot Tin-Tin's clientele.

Sorry for the horrible photo Max.
