2023 Inked Originals Winner
Geoff Ratzlaff
At a young age, this architectural technologist found inspiration in the tattoos of his three older brothers, which ultimately led him to acquire his own ink. Geoff's body art narrates the story of his family's evolution from the turbulent times of the Russian Revolution to the present day, skillfully encapsulating the essence of this human experience through the lens of dark realism.
