Tiny Tattoos by Austin Tott Boast Matching Environments
Meghan Young — March 27, 2014 — Fashion
The photo series titled Tiny Tattoos by Austin Tott, a photographer based in Seattle, Washington, revolves just around that. Yet this isn't a person's typical tattoo photoshoot. Instead of focusing on badass bikers or sensual body shots, it embraces the quaint and even surreal quality of such inked art by surrounding it with a matching environment.
For instance, one image in Tiny Tattoos by Austin Tott involves a small keyhole. So the hand is surrounded by a bunch of suspended vintage keys. Each still involves the same setup: A hand raised to show the tattoo on the inside of the wrist with a backdrop that complements in some shape or form. In a way, these tiny tattoos are like permanent charms from a charm bracelet and the photoshoot fully embraces their interests.
