what:         Shop Life is the result of a study done to understand 
                 the core effects of the sensation of self-inflicted pain. 
                 Traveling to a few different tattoo shops in Virginia 
                 and North Carolina, I spent at least two days at each 
                 shop to better understand the artists and the 
                 similarities between all the shops. No matter what area 
                 or type of person I encounter the experience of all the 
                 individuals was surprisingly similar. The body of work 
                 showcases the overall atmosphere of what goes into 
                 getting inked. 
                 The digital photographs are printed directly 
                 behind acrylic glass, giving the image a remarkable 
                 depth of filed and color intensity.
