Sebastian Gögel's tattoo designs take on a life of their own with this collection of black and white photographs in which sketchbook drawings and scribbled ideas appear side by side with color-tinted images of the designs as they appear inked into human skin. Using a style that combines tribal imagery with simple old-timey theatrical sketches, Gögel's characters include monstrous animal hybrids, dragons, and circus performers that appear to dance and slither across the page and onto the bodies of Gögel's friends and customers.
