Capturing the Modern Loft Feel of Ephemeral Tattoo in Washington, DC

Earlier this year, I had the unique opportunity to photograph the stylish interior of Ephemeral Tattoo, a cutting-edge tattoo studio in Washington, DC. Unlike traditional tattoo parlors, Ephemeral Tattoo offers clients real tattoos without the lifetime commitment—using made-to-fade temporary ink designed to disappear gradually.

As soon as I entered the studio, I was immediately drawn to the striking color palette and modern loft feel. The vibrant blue contrasted beautifully with the bold yellow cage walls, creating an energetic and inviting atmosphere. As an architectural photographer, I knew this would make for some captivating images.

Throughout the photo shoot, I focused on capturing the essence of Ephemeral Tattoo's innovative approach to body art. The combination of thoughtful design elements and artistic touches created a unique environment. From the sleek tattoo chairs to the carefully curated artwork adorning the walls, every detail was a testament to the studio's commitment to redefining the tattoo experience.

In addition to the visual appeal of the space, the photoshoot allowed me to gain a deeper appreciation for the concept behind Ephemeral Tattoo. By offering made-to-fade ink, the studio encourages clients to experiment with their style without the pressure of permanence. This spirit of freedom and creativity permeates every aspect of the studio, and it was a privilege to capture it through my lens.

In conclusion, my interior architectural photoshoot at Ephemeral Tattoo was a great experience. The modern loft feel, vibrant colors, and innovative approach to tattooing made for a genuinely exceptional subject. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such a forward-thinking company and look forward to seeing how they continue to push the boundaries of the tattoo industry.

Chicago / Summer 2021

As we’re moving closer to August, I’m slowly catching up on some of my recent travels. I’ll start with Chicago, where my wife and I traveled last summer. While I have been to the windy city, it was my wife’s first time.

So you may ask, why Chicago? To visit friends and of course for the love of traveling!

While visiting Chicago, we checked out various restaurants, museums, shops, and the legendary Wrigley Field!

The restaurants we ate at were The Publican, Gibsons, RPM Seafood, and Polo, but our favorite was probably Tzuco! I highly recommend trying out all of them. Even though we didn’t go out to eat for a deep-dish pizza, we ordered delivery from Giordano’s while hanging out with friends in Hyde Park.

For sightseeing, we went up the Hancock Tower for views, took a boat cruise up through the Chicago River, visited the Sports Museum, bought shoes at Stadium Goods, and spent hours at the Museum of Science and Industry, where we got to see an entire submarine!
