EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1977, we witness the immense pride of Council gardener Ian Hewison as he showcases his remarkable tattoo to the world. The Chinese girl adorning his back has become a true masterpiece, so much so that Ian has decided to frame it for all to admire. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the tattoo are truly awe-inspiring, making it an undeniable work of art. Tattooist David Turner, who crafted this stunning piece, shares in Ian's admiration and believes it is a testament to his skillful craftsmanship. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time when tattoos were still considered unconventional and often associated with rebellion. It serves as a reminder that body art can transcend societal norms and be appreciated as genuine artistic expression. Ian's decision to have his beloved tattoo framed not only demonstrates his deep appreciation for its beauty but also symbolizes the significance it holds in his life. Perhaps this Chinese girl represents something more profound than meets the eye – a personal connection or an emblematic representation of cultural fascination. Dennis Hutchinson's expert lens immortalizes this extraordinary fusion of artistry and self-expression, inviting us into Ian Hewison's world where skin becomes canvas and ink transforms into emotion.
