In putting together my tattoo book on blackwork, I've not only been privy to new, stunning work from the world's top tattooists, but also top photography of the art. Today I want to share with you a new photography find:

The tattoo portraits of Lee Corkett, WeatherVane Images, Conejo Valley, CA.

Lee is a freelance photographer and designer who is working with Zulu Tattoo in LA to capture his body of work on beautifully decorated bodies, like this piece on Nikki Haydock.

For a close-up of the tattoo, check out our Flickr page.

What I particularly like about Lee's work is the ease and movement of those bodies; you especially see it in fabulous dance galleries, with some adorned in tattoos and henna art as well.

Catch more of Lee and Zulu's work in my upcoming book.
