Time flies

Wow. How is it already May?!?!?!
So my goal for starting up Park Your Tattoo in May has failed miserably. But that's okay, there's always June!
Planning to start the weekend of June 2nd. Most likely back at Trinity Bellwoods park.
Can't wait!

Almost here!

With the amazing weather of late, I'm thinking about starting up Park Your Tattoo soon! Hoping to start getting out there and shooting in the next few weeks...so early May.

Watch this space for updates as to when and where I'll be with my camera!

Housekeeping comes a' knocking once again...

I'm *still* not a big fan of rules & stuff, but I just want to put a few things out there again about this project:

1. Since we'll be doing photos in public areas, no major nudity...I don't feel like being hassled by concerned citizens or the cops. I'm fussy that way.

2. Should you wish to show off your tattooed bits, message me first. I might be able to find a way to shoot it. But most likely I won't. Cause that's how I roll. Especially if I don't know you. Naked strangers freak me out (but that's another story for another day).

3. Hateful words/images/etc. Keep 'em covered. I won't photograph 'em. However,  I might give you an atomic wedgie for your neanderthal choices. And a punch to the throat for good measure.

4. You won't be paid for your posing. Sorry, it's an art project. "Payment" is in the form of a digital copy of the photo of your tattoo. As those who have already posed have learned, getting a digital copy is a slow process. But getting a hug is a fast and enjoyable process.

5. Real tattoos only, please. Though I do love henna & temporary tattoos (I lie, I don't love either one of these things. If I did, I'd photograph them).

2012 - Still Shooting!

So it's been awhile since I've posted anything to this here blog. Well guess what?
Park Your Tattoo is going to return this summer!

The plan is to shoot some more tattoos through the summer, edit and organize like a fiend and then exhibit the end result in November/December.

If you're interested in participating...drop me a line at parkyourtattoo@gmail.com.

This week in parks...

Managed to get quite a few responses for interest in posing for Park Your Tattoo.
Thanks to those who recently posed!
I'm absolutely loving the tattoos and the various stories behind them.

This week, I'm currently booked for Wednesday around 4pm in Cabbagetown, nost likely around Riverdale Farm.
If you're in that hood (or able to make it there), drop me a line & we'll organize something!

Still shooting

So I'm no longer loitering in parks (I'm sure the cops are happy to hear that), but I'm still working on Park Your Tattoo. The difference this time is that I'm coming to YOU.

Today I'll be at Church St. Village parks starting as of 10.30am.

I'm doing midday & weekend photos for the next few months.
Drop me a message on Twitter: @35mmMonkey or email me: parkyourtattoo[at]gmail[dot]com and we'll work something out!

And for those who have already posed for me, fear not! I'll be sending you copies of your tattoo via email in the next week or so. Thanks for coming out and letting me capture your ink!!!

C'mon out and get shot!

And so it continues!

Park your tattoo will be going on until at least October!

I'll be meeting up with people in various locations instead of loitering in parks.
If you're still interested in participating, drop me a line at: parkyourtattoo [at] gmail [dot] com.

You know you wanna!!!
