TY42 Pulling a Face

Unlike the young guy numbered 22, this fellow was very likable. I don't mean he was in anyway a good person - he probably wasn't. Addicted to heroin (you can see the track marks in his left arm in this photo), he probably would have robbed you blind if he thought he had even a slim chance of getting away with it. Still, despite the pitfalls of life that he'd stumbled into, he was friendly and optimistic. I enjoyed photographing him and was disappointed when he disappeared one night in a transfer.

My portrait of him (taken at the same time as this one) is currently my third most viewed photo.

Another of my more popular models. I liked Ifan. He was one of my friends who I invited for a Christmas meal in 2008. It was because I liked him that he got the opportunity to steal from me three times. Most guys I only let steal from me once.

TY22 Star Nipple

Time to include a few more 'tattooed youth' shots and what better way to do so than by revisiting some of my most popular models. For a long time my portrait of him was my most viewed photo (now it is number two). I'm not sure what people saw when they looked at that photo. My feelings about it are coloured by his personality. He was an angry young man, and I don't mean that in any positive sense of railing against the world's injustices. If anything, he was possible one of those 'injustices'.

Time to include a few more 'tattooed youth' shots. I never included any photos of this guy in my 'tattooed youth' set, probably because I didn't like him. He was a bit of a monster. I saw him one day throwing rocks at the mad Englishman. He also came across as being conceited.

Tattooing IV

JamesWired - retelling has added a photo to the pool:

Looking down from my floor, I saw this guy busy at work on his friend's body. I hurried down, showed polite interest and then asked if I could take some photos. Unfortunately, the lighting was very poor, and that combined with the limitations of my phone's camera, hasn't resulted in very clear images. After I got my Sony camera, I always wanted to take another series. But while tattooing was very common in the prison, it wasn't something that's done openly, and I never got another opportunity.

Dedi's Going Home Tattoos

A friend had tattooed Dedi for free as a leaving prison gift. He was very pleased with them. I wasn't so sure.

A close up from my Tattooed Youth set is here.

I have decided to add a few of my older portraits to my Male Asian Faces set. Most of these guys already have photos in my photostream so I'll link to their earlier shots.

Despite all his tattoos, he was a gentle guy who unfortunately, I didn't get to know well until the end of his sentence.

Another Tattooed Sleeper

JamesWired - retelling has added a photo to the pool:

Sleep, if you can achieve it, is one of the few escapes prison offers. I knew many guys who'd stay awake all night and then sleep through the days; liking the solitude that this gave them. I preferred to be awake during the day, but would go to sleep very early each night. I was always happy in the mornings after a good night's sleep. By late afternoon I was often annoyed or depressed (sometimes both), wanting nothing more than to close my eyes and leave reality behind for another night.

Preparing the Paint

JamesWired - retelling has added a photo to the pool:

Indonesians like to mix their water based paints with water. This saves on paint and makes it easier to apply. Unfortunately, it also makes it very easy to be rubbed off and almost impossible to keep clean. The solution to dirty walls is to repaint them. Our blok and stairwell was repainted approximately every six months; paid for by the wealthier prisoners with the labour supplied by their servants.

Bali Cobra

My friend who worked in the mosque got this tattoo when he was working in Bali. He told me lots of stories about his life and the various jobs he had. The most fascinating was when he was an animal trainer.
