TATTOO ENHANCEMENT 1

One of the things I can do with black light photography is tattoo enhancement, that is I use an existent tattoo as a coloring book for my fluorescent paints. Because I use poster paints because of their safety and washability, I have a very narrow window of opportunity to paint. If I have an existent tattoo in outline I can get a lot more detail in the paintings I do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The first time I used a mirror to capture both a model's face and a tattoo on her back, it took 4 of us to get the job done because I wasn't expecting to do it. You can see Mom in the picture above holding up the mirror and Sis in the picture holding up a sheet to keep me and the back of the room out of the picture. Were we to do this now it would take only three of us as I bought a hook for the mirror.
