Swallows, stars, anchors, a heart with the name of your love: they're all well known tattoos. But what if you're love isn't a person, but a camera?

I think it’s great when people are so fond of something, they want to carry it with them forever as a tattoo. Whether it’s a Star Wars-nerd with a Death Star on his back, or the Apple fangirl with a Clarus-tattoo (yes, that’s my ankle you see when you click through) and the craftly ladies who immortalize balls of wool and knitting needles on their bodies.
No matter how crazy I am about Lomography, my relationship with Lomography is still a little too early for my beloved camera tattoo. The following people are sure enough of their love for Lomography, wearing their favorite camera not only in their bag, but also on their skin.
This is the outline of the LC-A, tattooed on wendalls arm.
Also LomoAmigo Cameron Russell has a tattoo of the famous camera.
Let’s not forget the famous Diana!
The classic Polaroid camera is well represented.
Inspired by these photos? Or do you prefer a flawless un-tattooed skin? I’m curious about your experiences and opinions.

@explorette: you're in the UK, right? You should try and get an appointment with Jo Harrison, she does amazing work! http://www.joharrison.co.uk/ I got tattooed by her three years ago when she was in Amsterdam, besides being a fantastic artist, she's also a really sweet girl.

I love lomo but am terrified of needles, those who have tattoo's are braver souls than me.

I love my camera tattoo, although it is modelled around a canon digital camera I have film all around it showing where I first got my interest in photography, and also the reflection of the sunset of my backyard which was something I used to be able to photograph everyday.
