I have no tattoos and have never seen anyone tattooed, so when I got the invitation to photograph the process I jumped at the chance. This is Deane, from the Soul Graffiti Tattoo Studio in Whanganui, at work this morning.

Hi Pete
Quite amazing in so many ways. Thanks for the post. Happy holidays.
Takes a different sort of artist to ink human skin.
It's interesting that even with all the 'whiteness' and modernity in the composition, I still feel the 'primal' aspect of this. Very cool. .... And very happy holidays, too!
Thank you Paterika, and happy holidays to you also :^)
Zhoen, the need to avoid any mistakes would freak me out. I can imagine sneezing at the wrong moment and adding an unwanted nike logo.
Thanks Barbara. I have to admit the "whiteness" surprised me a little — never having been inside a tattoo studio, I guess subconsciously I was expecting a much grungier environment. But the lightness and cleanliness inspired confidence.
