Image: Matt Sopron (right) works on a tattoo for a client at Dark Water Studio in Chicago, where he is on a tattoo apprenticeship. He wears black gloves and steadies his fingers while creating an image on the client’s back where we can partly see a scene of a young man at the Chicago lakefront on the left side, and on the right side is a winged figure holding scales of justice.
