Trend Hunter is no stranger to the amazing photography of Jean-Francois Carly. The most recent installment of Jean-Francois Carly's work features images of ink-covered subjects, shot in both color and black-and-white.
I have always admired photographers who can make tattoos look just as interesting when shot in black-and-white as they are when they photographed in color. Jean-Francois Carly is definitely one of those photographers. My fave is the picture of the woman in the butterfly mask.
