I always wish magazines would credit what tattoo artist did a models tattoo work. I would love to see this Star Wars sleeve up close, but I don’t have any idea who did the work.

No, I’m not posting a picture of a gorgeous tattooed woman during womens week, further objectifying women.

Instead, I’m posting a picture of a gorgeous tattooed woman taken by a tattooed woman!

Make sure you read the read the interview we did with the very talented Sylvia Hagar last year.

A new website has been launched by photographer extraordinaire, Sylvia Hagar. The website features all of Syl’s work, including her tattooed portraits and pin ups that are featured in Prick Magazine.

If you’re interested in learning more about Syl, check out her interview she did with us a few months ago.

Before you get all snooty wondering why you should add a bunch of photographers on Twitter because of a Follow Friday post… remember one thing: these dudes photograph chicks with tattoos. That has a tendency to end with those tattooed girls being naked.

Clearly the appeal here needs no further explanation, so without further adieu:

- Craig Burton: I think most of our readers are US-based, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be lurking Craig’s photos. He shoots a lot of live music, he has a bunch of tattoo work of his own, and also happens to be accountable for some of the better photos I’ve seen in Inked.

- Alissa Brunelli: Seems like everyone has been stoked on all of Alissa’s work that we’ve posted on here so far. (Especially the photos of Radeo and Frolic for Powderpuff Pinups.) Imagine the sheer joy you would experience seeing new work from her on the regular!

- Sylvia Hagar: I don’t see how it’s possible for anyone to not know who Sylvia is–she’s responsible for photos of all the hottest babes you see in Prick Magazine & we interviewed her a few weeks back.

- Kelly Lind: Kelly has a pretty long-standing habit of photographing hot chicks covered in tattoo work. I will say that most of the photos of his you will find online are NSFW, so be careful about what computer you use when pulling up his website.

Of course if following people individually isn’t your style, you could make things easy on yourself and just follow the TattooSnob approved photographer list on Twitter. If you know of someone else we should be adding to that list, by the way, don’t hesitate to email me about it.

In an effort to share truly interesting stories and interviews, we’re sitting down talking to Sylvia Hagar of Prick Magazine. If you’ve ever picked up a Prick Magazine, you’ve probably admired photography by Syl. She juggles a couple different jobs for Prick, but her primarily job for the magazine is photographer. Once you start reading the interview below, I think you’ll quickly learn why I think this is truly interesting.

I’ve made it known how much of a fan of Prick Magazine before, so when I had the opportunity to ask Syl a couple questions, and share her outstanding work – I was all about it.
