The Tattoo Project; Professional Athletes and Their Tattoos


March 24, 2009 - 11:51 am



I am in Phoenix, Arizona collaborating with an amazing project partner, Olivia Cabrerra. I am the creative part of the project and she is the business end! Olivia is the mastermind behind the idea and I am the artist to help bring it together! =) The project is a high end, fine art coffee table book featuring professional athletes and their body art and the stories behind it. Yesterday, in the downtown nooks and crannies, I had the opportunity to shoot an amazing athlete, Ryan Sweeney of the Oakland A’s. He was the perfect model and had an amazingly laid back attitude about having his shirt off in the streets! Here are a few of his shots featuring his impressive body art. The stories behind the art is as impressive as the art itself. ENJOY the first sneak peak of our athlete subjects.
