Facial tattoos: the people behind the ink

Mark Leaver is a photographer with an amazingly curious eye for those known as “Others”. One of his latest projects called “Tattoos” personifies the mystery of body decoration in Britain’s facial tattoo community.

“What is always interesting about tattoos in the European context is the reason behind it,” says Leaver. “Sometimes is just a body decoration, the way people describe beauty or attractiveness. Sometimes is the way someone feels about a specific life occasion that they want to be forever remembered. Nevertheless, people often like to be seen as somebody else. Tattoos can make them appear like different but how they feel ‘inside’ is harder to reach.”
