Anna’s passions include dance and body modifications — which I see as being very similar passions in a lot of ways — and her friend Anna Powalowska documented that in a recent photo shoot. The corset (done only for these pictures) was done by Pawel at Black Star Studio in Warsaw, Poland. Her tattoo was done by her boyfriend Karol who also tattoos at Black Star.

I love this post because my biggest passion is dance and I often find myself not getting certain piercings or tattoos because of dance (even though I do have my lip in addition to 12 other piercings that are hideable with dance). In ballet especially, ballerinas are supposed to emulate an air of purity, which is hard to portray with tattoos. Certain tattoo placements can also be considered very distracting during a performance. It’s sad and I wish that would change because I would love nothing more than to get a tattoo of Les Claypool on my upper arm, but that wouldn’t fly in the dance world.

H.M. i think a big part of it is that dance and body modification both involve manipulation of the body, but i could be way off
and to state the obvious, these photos are beautiful

To perform ballet, especially when that means being “on point” is to determine that you will manipulate your body for what is a higher purpose for you. At least that’s my take on it. Absolutely lovely shots.
