"Alive: Tattoo Portraits" by Julien Lachaussée

It took six years to achieve these 146 portraits of tattooers and tattoos.

Bodybuilders, bouncers at clubs, stripteasers, bikers…They all had faith in lending themselves to this game of truth. In black & white or colour, all these photos have been taken with Polaroid and Anological cameras, formats of authenticity.
