Tattoos are a curious thing. Chances are you’ve got one, or know someone who has them and we’ve all seen those people who are covered head-to-toe in them. Tattoos hold a rich history, both in society and for the individual. Every tattoo has a story, some more intriguing than others, but nothing can take away from the personal meaning it holds for the individual who bears the design, inked into their skin for eternity.

Behind every tattoo is a tattoo artist, who has carefully worked alongside the individual to create a beautiful and lasting piece of art to ink into the canvas of the skin. Behind every tattoo artist is their own personal story, and Ink Stories is a collection of short documentaries that step inside the world of various tattoo artists from around the world and document the things that inspire them.

London based Brazilian tattoo artist Rodrigo Souto is the feature artist for episode three of Ink Stories. His creativity stems directly from his involvement in graffiti, and more recently, a collection of collages which he creates gathering items from London’s Brick Lane and Portobello markets. Check out the footage and gain an insight into the inspirations behind Souto’s stunning works.
