I have returned to this several times, but I stil can't work out what I am looking at. Looks like the lighting was tricky to work with; focus could be a bit crisper.
Nicely sharp and colorful, but I'm confused. What is it, and what's your occupation? It might help some of us if you spelled it out more clearly in your title.
This is a nice composition, nicely lit, good focus, and nice colors. But hard as I try, I don't understand what occupation this represents. Is this some sort of photography equipment that I am not advanced enough to be familiar with? 8
It is an alright image. I am really looking to figure out what it is. and I think I am coming to the conclusion that it is a tattoo machine. Which, goes with your title. Ink into flesh?, Anyway, it is a decent image, but not strong enough for me. Maybe that red light just washes out the machine to much.
