It is a new year, and I thought I would start off with some new, fresh trends. So why not hit up an old standby? Here comes a tattooed, sand-loving photoshoot in the form of the Up The Beach editorial.
Bringing together the best of all worlds, tattoos and surfing, this shoot features men and women who have tattoos and love the waves. Not to mention that all the models in Inked Magazine's Up The Beach Editorial are pretty easy on the eyes.
