Description: It became apparent with the fashion style of the short blouses a woman I worked with had a very colorful tattoo on her lower back. She was very proud of the art work; a piece she had designed, and spent a lot of money to have it applied to her lower back. She knew I was a photographer and asked me if I would photograph her back, all I had to do was give her a copy of the work. I was surprised to see, when we were setting up to do the photograph, she had a second tattoo midway up her back. Captured in color, I removed the background, converted the image to black & white, layered the image back over the top of the color image, and erased the black & white over the tattoos to present this image with the emphasis on the tattoos.
