reviews_and_ramblings | Man Candy Day: Tattooed Men

Truth be told, tattoos are not my thing but looking at this pictures I can understand the fascination... now I would never dare to do that on MY skin, but I can look at them :-) Strange thing, all today models are from the same Agency, Red Models in New York City, maybe they are specialized in beautiful tattoed men?

He got into modeling by accident when a friend who was a photography student asked Tyler to pose for her class project. The images were really very good and the teacher suggested that Tyler become a real model. Tyler is passionate abut his own personal sense of style, art, films and writing music.

Parker Hurley describes himself as: “PARKER-artist. nerd. kick boxer. music lover. superhero fanatic. video game junkie. pancake enthusiast. etc. I’m super open-minded and opinionated yet try not to take myself too seriously. It’s a job and I’m here to have fun and create neat images. I view modelling as a form of art and one of the ultimate forms of self-expression.

Tattoos are important to me.... I’ve had a few run-ins with people getting similar designs or flat out taking mine completely... they are all designed by me, so please, please, PLEASE!, come up with your own concepts, as all tattoos should mean a great deal to you... I have turquoise bands on my ankles and wrists. 5 small birds going up my left side. A very busy half-sleeve on my right arm. And turquoise circles running along the length of my spine. They are pretty though, I did them myself and they are all extremely important to me. I think tattoos and piercings can be great assets to a model, if they are done properly. Would love to work with photographers who agree.”

Jonathan Kroppmann is not only a stunning, he's also a musician. He has been in and out of rock bands as a vocalist since 2004. Most of them having hardcore influences. Frustrated with multiple attempts of relying on others, he decided to learn guitar himself. He picked up an acoustic and quickly put it down. It seemed a daunting task to learn and much harder than expected.

Over the Summer of 2007, Jonathan Kroppmann completely gave his life to learning the guitar. Without a teacher and the inability to cover a song, he has developed some bad habits that became a personal style of his, like a signature sound. Influenced by textures of everyday, in a constant state of awe, and the uncontrollable ability to fall in love with the strangest things, he writes songs...

20 years old from London, Dan Felton was scouted on the streets of New York by his agent Dave from Red Models. Top of his playlist: “Cigarettes and alcohol” by Oasis. He likes nudist beaches. Philosophy: What we do in life echoes in eternity. His look? Mine and raw to the core!
