Photo Essay

 My photo essay topic was tattoos, so I went to Bella Donna Tattoo Company on Westheimer Road to get pictures of people getting tattoos. The three pictures in the post are my favorite out of the 14 that I used for my project. The one to the right is of the final product of a girl's tattoo that reads "everyone is forgiven;" although I only photographed part of the final tattoo I still think it captures a mood that speaks for itself.



                                                            
This picture below is of a tattoo artist putting bandages on the girl's finished tattoo. I wanted to capture this picture because it shows something other than the needle or finished product and also shows a meaningful tattoo on the artist's fingers.

The above picture is of an artist, who happens to be the owner, in the process of giving a tattoo to a man. The man's finished product will be a treasure chest in between two women pirates. I liked the lighting in this particular picture and the fact that neither men are looking at the camera or each other.
