I got a chicken tattoo. Technically it’s a pollo tattoo. I was walking around my Dominican South Williamsburg neighborhood and I kept looking at these signs for POLLO… which if you don’t speak Dominican means chicken. I was with my friend Joe and I pointed to a sign and was like “I am going to get that tattooed to me”. Soon after it I ran into my friend Barf Callahan and told him about it. I have always wanted one of his drawings on me and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I described it to him and he got it EXACTLY the way I wanted it on the first time. Then today in Richmond I had my friend Katie Davis put it on me. She did a sweet job. Anyway, check it out. I am way happy with the result. Click the tattoo to see a close up.

One thing I look for when shooting is good tattoos. I am sure not every photoblogger is as tattoo conscious as I am but I am a pretty big tattoo fan and when I see a girl in a low cut top with a bad ass chest piece I will make sure I get that shot. Even if it isn’t the greatest shot a cool tattoo will save a bad photo. When I was much younger and I didn’t know as many people with tattoos I used to photograph all my friends work and it was actually a pretty popular feature of this website back in the day. Now a days everyone I know has some dumb tattoo, but when I see something great I always get that shot. So show me your chest piece!
