Tattooists are considered as the source of rebellion because we are the creator of the rebellious mark.
When people are labeling us for our decorated bodies, I want to provide another way to understand our stories we carry on our backs.
In this series I drew portraits of several HK-based tattooist in the consistent illustrating style in which I use to design tattoos.
With their tattoos re-arranged as decorations surrounding their faces, hopefully people will be curious about who we are, instead of judging how we look.

我發現紋身師被認定是反叛的根源，因為我們為人們刻下叛逆的標誌。
當所有人因我們的圖案而標籤的時候，我希望提供另一種方式來理解我們身體上的故事。
這個系列中，我以紋身畫風畫了幾個香港紋身師的人像。
他們的紋身重新繪畫為視覺上的裝飾，希望觀眾會好奇那些圖案盛載什麼故事，而不是一味批評我們的外觀。
