Under the Needle: Permanent Lomography Love

Swallows, stars, anchors, a heart with the name of your love: they’re all well known tattoos. But what if you’re love isn’t a person, but a camera?

I think it’s great when people are so fond of something, they want to carry it with them forever as a tattoo. Whether it’s a Star Wars-nerd with a Death Star on his back, or the Apple fangirl with a Clarus-tattoo (yes, that’s my ankle you see when you click through) and the craftly ladies who immortalize balls of wool and knitting needles on their bodies.

No matter how crazy I am about Lomography, my relationship with Lomography is still a little too early for my beloved camera tattoo. The following people are sure enough of their love for Lomography, wearing their favorite camera not only in their bag, but also on their skin.

This is the outline of the LC-A, tattooed on wendalls arm.

Also LomoAmigo Cameron Russell has a tattoo of the famous camera.

Let’s not forget the famous Diana!

The classic Polaroid camera is well represented.

Inspired by these photos? Or do you prefer a flawless un-tattooed skin? I’m curious about your experiences and opinions.
