Photographer’s Note

This is one of the rodside tattooists that work on the streets of Jaipur in Rajasthan, India.
Nowhere else have I ever seen such a thing allowed to happen.
The tattoo studio in most countries is so regulated for hygiene purpose, the tattoist didnt even change needles or sanitize them in between customers, and he had no shortage of them queuing up to be cross infected with whatever the previous client/victim had left on the needle.
He wasnt that great an artist either, his work left a lot to be desired.
I wouldnt recommend his work, I love tattoos and I am not short of them on my body, but I just would not do this to myself.
I used my friends Canon Rebel for this shot, a nice handy little camera.

Regards

Roy
