It also drew in a photographer from the Bronx who was fascinated by this world and the people who inhabited it. While not tattooed himself, for seven years Thomas Santelli served as the Festival's designated 'official photographer,' documenting this colorful event and the remarkable people who attended it with care and veneration.
