Since we’re in the communal spirit with all this Shoot the Day and School of Stock business, I thought I’d put up a few images of rad camera tattoos I’ve come across recently; If you have one of your own, send it in!

There are many ways to have a camera tattoo. You can make a diagram:

(Pauly was nice enough to include his photo info: 80EXII camera right @ 1/8 into bounce umbrella, fill light from ambient.)

You can honor an your favorite camera, like the Polaroid SX-70:

Or you can go classic, with a twin lens and some meaningful text:

What decisive moment will you immortalize?

It’s funny that a site all about making money off photography is using my copywrited image without asking permission.
