Here’s the gorgeous Blanaid Hennessy, in an amazing shoot in Shutterbug, the new Kilkenny studio she’s set up with her brother, photographer Eoin Hennessy. The pictures were taken by the super-talented Ciuin Tracey, with post-production by Blanaid, where she ’shopped in those amazing tattoos.

I absolutely love the juxtaposition of the pared-down fashion and the over the top floral tattoos – tattoos, by their very nature, are pretty tough, but the meandering floral patterns make these ones just on the right side of feminine, in my view. Inspiration for some new ink, I think . . .
