Philipp Haas is an artist and freelance photographer from Berlin, Germany. Philipp shares the story around his current and world-unique project Re-Inked (Re-Inked.de - tilt your phone to see the effect of disappearing tattoos). Using a special technique he shows what it looks like when tattoos "disappear" from people's bodies. This comes from a fascination for connecting with other people and witnessing the transformation of an individual from a state of "no tattoos" to tattooed.

In this episode Philipp shares emotions and reactions from people seeing themselves without tattoos for the first time... it is very moving and relatable.
