Tiny Tattoos Paired With Matching Backgrounds By Austin Tott

Austin Tott likes his tattoos tiny. Tiny and abstract, and posing with their bigger counterparts. This means taking a wrist with a ship tattoo and photographing with a naval map background. Or taking a picture of a wrist with envelope ink and a wall full of… well, envelopes. By far the smartest choice, I think, is the fox tattoo and log background, unless I’m mistaken about the hidey-holes of foxes.

Conceptual photography is Austin Tott’s forte. Born in Seattle, Washington, he’s an art director, as well as a product and conceptual designer. Tott likes fusing surreal concepts and compositions with raw emotions. “Striving at times to even make dark emotions and painful or new experiences a beautiful thing,” it is stated on Tott’s website. “His work with product photography showcases his excellent eye for lighting and styling.”

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
