Tattoos uncovered in powerful series by photographer

In his latest series, Covered, Alan Powdrill showcases what lies beneath suits, ties and exercise gear - which for some people, is a whole lot of ink.

They say you never know what goes on behind closed doors, and a London-based photographer has recently proven you never know what has gone on underneath a person’s clothes.

In his recent series, Covered, Alan Powdrill showcases what lies beneath suits, ties and exercise gear for some people – which is a whole lot of ink.

The series makes point to the different ages, shapes and personalities of people who have tattoos and showcases their relationship with the body art, as each photo set is paired with a quote from the individual.

Whether you find these photos shocking or beautiful, there’s no denying the power behind the pairing.
