black gray & white

I have a pretty small obsession with black and white photography. Who knew that no saturated photos could have much more of a hold than a bright and poppy colored image? Black and white images have a more subtle approach but much more depth. It's hard to explain, however, Mariano Vivanco has no problem showing you what I'm trying to explain. This image captured my eye out of the few couple other images with low saturation. Still I have yet to know whether this man is completely tatted, has a few real tattoos with a good help of some artists drawing, or just  100% drawings on him. Either way, it has such beauty from something you wouldn't see as beauty from the beginning.
