TRIBECA — The girl with dragon tattoo has nothing on these ladies.

TriBeCa's Hionas Gallery put on display Thursday 20 photographs of tattooed women from famed fashion photographer Warwick Saint.

The exhibition, Warwick Saint: Body of Work, runs through Dec. 31 at the gallery, at 89 Franklin St.. 

“I’m giving them a character, a part to play in the photo shoot. There’s a sensuality I wanted to bring out," said Saint, 39, in a statement about the show. 

“For me it’s about showing these women in a certain light, to elevate them, make them beautiful without judgment.”

Saint, a native of South Africa now based New York, is known for his portraits of A-list celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Lady Gaga, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Bridges, Liv Tyler and Paz de la Huerta.
