2 circus tattooed men

I’ve got 2 finished.  Short days and rainy weather makes photographing them a challenge.  Also, they look lumpy in places in the photograph that look fine in real life- the realities and hardships of being a model!

I took a different approach to the hair this time- I’m thinking about pompadours.

    i like they way you have done the hair, and the fabrics you’ve picked for their ‘tattooed’ bodies.

    Wow Mimi! These guys are great. I like their hair and their faces with chins and big eyebrows. They remind me of the tattooed men I saw at the circus in Chicago 35 years ago….I want to put belts on these guys for some reason. Big gold belts. Must be an old memory. :)

    Wonderful! I really love how you did the hair. I want to say the black hair is my favorite, but they are both so great. I’m totally in love with the black haired fellow’s face. That mustache is amazing. :)

    These are wonderful! I love how they now have a personality as quirky as it is wild – just what circus men are like…in my world, anyway!
