Surreal-Surrounding Tattoo Photography

Tiny Tattoos by Austin Tott Boast Matching Environments

— 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.
Trend Themes
1. Surreal-tattoo Trend - There is an opportunity for tattoo artists to embrace surrealism and offer tiny tattoos that are complemented with matching environments.
2. Photography-integration Trend - Photographers can integrate surreal backgrounds with the subjects of the photos taken of individuals.
3. Hand-tattoo Trend - There is a growing demand for small and unique tattoos on the hand and wrist that can be showcased in a creative manner.
Industry Implications
1. Tattooing Services - Tattoo parlors can offer specialized genres of tattoos that can be complemented with matching environments thereby increasing their brand value.
2. Photography Studios - Photographers who specialize in capturing unique and quirky photographs of individuals can devise innovative shoots and help clients showcase their tattoos through their pictures.
3. Advertising Agencies - Ad agencies can leverage surreal tattoo photography to create ads that are unique and help brands stand out in a crowded market.
