Fresh Tatt

Personally I don't have a tattoo, but I like them when I see them on others. I can't really say I am a fan of permanence, but then again nothing is permanent in this life, is it? This photo was taken in my all time favourite bar in Athens, called Medez! I have shared many moments from that place with you in the past. This guy, Nikos had just had a fresh tattoo made. It was a swallow. The design intrigued me and also the fact that the tattoo would never look like this in the future. He had got it on the same day and it was really contrasty and sharp. Tattoos kind of smooth out after a while. So, I thought that I want it! I asked him to show it to me so I could take the shot, but I shot him before he posed for me. A moment after he saw the flash he asked "Did you already take the shot?" and I said "Oh yeah!"
