Words from Adrian:

Tattoo work by Adrian in collaboration with photographer Alyssa Soares.

I commissioned Alyssa Soares after losing all but one of my oil paintings in my home and studio to the fire in Altadena. With only photographs to work from, we conceptualized a method emulating the same softness that paint and graphite create by displaying my tattoo work through light etching. 

The dark room practice was deliberate and meditative, similarly to how making those paintings felt. Delicacy, reflected.
