These photos were taken in Oklahoma City on February 29th. My friend Amy and I had our nostrils pierced while we were there so I decided it would be a great photo op for this project. In the first shot the piercer, Tober, is sanitizing Amy's nostril. The second is a shot of Tober, and the third is him clamping Amy's nostril just before he puctured it. I couldn't get any shots of him actually inserting the needle or post but I thought these kind of captured the interaction and environment.

You have taking a difficult step in you project - documenting an object (the tattoo or piercing) to documenting the environment and ritual involved with them. Now the goal should be to get more aggressive with HOW you shoot this.
