Photographed Tattooing

Photographed one boy giving another boy a tattoo in the dump, Not sure how it will play out visually tried shooting it from a number of angles and exposures but it was a hard rather awkward to shoot. The light was extremely hard and close at the tattoo point and then extremely lacking and dark everywhere else. Did  my best with it, hopefully got a usable photo.

There is always something new and different happening in the dump, something you never saw before. After the tattoo I warned the boy to keep his arm clean, that if it got dirty he could have a big problem, he said he understood, then covered up his arm with this long sleeve shirt (dirty?). With that much blood, and open wound action, inside a garbage dump you got to worry about infection.
