1. This might be the only picture I’ve taken where I photoshopped out my tattoo. I felt very strongly that the tattoo did not go with the photo, that I liked it so much better without it. But I felt all weird about taking the tattoo out. As if I was somehow betraying myself. But then a friend told me that to do so isn’t much different than wearing a wig for a photo, or dressing up as someone else for a shoot. So I felt better about it. And trust me, this picture is way better sans tattoo. p.s. I swear to take a picture in the light one of these days. This might be the only picture I’ve taken where I photoshopped out my tattoo.
