"In my writing and film-making, I have always thought that the purpose of training your pen or your camera on a subject was illumination. Literally to shine a light on something. In fifteen years of researching the history and social significance of tattooing - in dozens of different cultures around the world - I am always struck by the extraordinary power that tattoos can have to reveal a person's inner self. Rarely is the choice of a tattoo or a tattoo symbol an accident. People choose tattoos that resonate with their sense of perceived identity of a deep level. I was quoted in an interview nearly ten years ago, saying that, "Beauty is skin deep, but a tattoo goes all the way to the bone".

The January Shoot The Face contest is now open to all amateur and professional photographers around the globe. Anyone that thinks they have what it takes to be the next Shoot The Face Winner can submit their images here.
