For the past few weeks, I have been training for a 5km charity race in London. I've been running past a tattoo shop on Lewes Road, which made me think about the theme "place." I think as an actual location and as a metaphor for where someone is in their life - why they get certain tattoos when they get them - this would be a very interesting topic to cover (as long as permission is granted to take pictures in the tattoo parlor, whether it is this one or another one in Brighton. There are plenty to choose from). I think I could work in a lot of different shots and angles in order to make it a comprehensible, fluid project. I think this would also be really good to work a soundtrack in with. Tattoo guns have a very distinct sound and I could get both artists and willing participants (who are being tattooed) to describe their reasons for getting tattoos, the feelings, etc.
If I can't find a tattoo parlor that would be willing to let me photograph inside and all else fails, I will try to find a record store that will let me photograph in their shop.
