This is a collection of a most extreme form of tattooing which involves total face and neck designs. While I have touched on this in a previous article, it was not on such a hardcore level. These people clearly feel their tattoos MUST be seen. The gimp mask example blows my mind.
As for the gallery, I really love the high quality of professional artistic shots people are having taken of their tattoos these days. The right photographer can make any design look stunning and certainly acts as food for thought as to what is considered beautiful.
