I discovered this image reference from a photograph found in the Sex Museum, Amsterdam, of an intimate self-portrait of two young boys. I spliced this together with my research into homosexual sailor tattoos and the 1950s Bristol tattoo club.

Each print is hand-pulled using hand-mixed inks, meaning slight variations in colour and placement may occur. These small differences are part of the process, making every piece one of a kind.
