Bristol's Gay Pride Festival

I went down to the Gay and Lesbian Festival in Bristol today.  It was over three sites, one of which is close to where I live and it here that I was campaigning for George Ferguson to become Bristol's first mayor.  Handing out leaflets I could hardly fail to notice the number of tattoos on show, even though it was a miserable day's weather.

Above you can see Lindsey, who had her arm piece done by Slug in Chippenham.  http://www.jinkzed.co.uk/

She plans to have her arm completed by him in due course.

Then there is Ben, who is a body piercer from Wales, who neck was very strikingly covered with ink.  There's no going back for him.

I could have spent the whole time photographing tattoos, but I was there for other reasons so had to get on with my work.
