  2. The exceptional quality of this photo allows for a huge enlargement. I enlarged it on a 42 inch screen and the details are amazing and very sharp. I can confirm to Big Dude that only his testicles are not tattooed

    1. Very interesting! I didn't try to enlarge this one, but now I will.

  3. This from a time when even a beard was considered radical.

    1. Right, and the tattoos pushed the envelope even more.

  4. A full body tattoo, appears oriental in style. Our own tattooed man Horace Ridler, the Great Omi, comes to mind.
    Ridler took it further with a full face and body tattoo, and with body piercings, claiming he was captured and tortured by tribesmen in New Guinea.
    Obviously an expression of art and sexuality for Miles and Ridler. 🇬🇧

  5. I'm not sure why, but I find this photo both appealing and revolting at the same time.
