LAZY WILLY

                                   

SYNOPSIS 

When Meng Tsung Lee left for Melbourne to pursue his tattoo artistry, he was unaware of the fact that he wouldn’t return home for nearly 3 years. Meng has found great success with his tattoo artistry in Melbourne with a unique style, an infectiously
positive outlook on life, and a large social media presence under the alias, @lazywilly. A self-proclaimed “sugar daddy”, Meng is
governed by his strong family values, as he aims to send as much of his profits as possible back home to his family in Taiwan, to provide a better life for them from afar. Despite his success, he is driven by the love of his family and the longing for when he will see them next. LAZY WILLY will feature a 3300 word essay and  27 photos that depict the success and solitude of Meng’s tattoo artistry in Melbourne.
