Tomek

He's probably one of the most enigmantic and most interesting people I've met here so far. Hitting early fourties, with a biography which could fill at least a book, I got to know Tomek (Tom) through a friend. Primarliy, he's a tatoo artist; yet in the past he's also worked on a Japanese farm, where he got to know the techniques of Aikido, sword-fighting and blacksmith skills. Later, he trained snipers, owned a smithy, worked as a freelance photographer and taught in a school for security officers. Anything missing?

The following session took place somewhere between November and December when I followed Tomek on another 'tat-job' done for a Polish guy living here in Luton as well. Since very recently Tomek is studio-based.

Excellent shots! My favorite so far in the series. Tomek is a great subject as well.
