Boracay, Philippines
April 2005

I remember his name is Ralph,
a tattoo artist.

Apart from these, I don’t know anything more about him.
It is not necessary.
His intense stare left an indelible mark in my memory
just as his tattoos were permanently etched in his skin.

Some pictures create a lasting impact to the photographer.
For me, this is one of them.
