Ouch: New York photographer Anne Burlock Lawver endeavored to capture the experience of getting a tattoo, embedding herself inside the Washington Heights tattoo parlor Gunmetal Tattoos, which has since closed

'Such a thrill': Lawver said the experience inside Gunmetal Tattoos, in upper Manhattan, was unlike another project she had done 

Finished product: The tattoo artist is seen wrapping the elaborate ink in cling wrap after finishing off the symbolic design 

New York photographer Anne Burlock Lawver doesn't have any tattoos, but became fascinated by the process of people getting them, so set out to capture those experiences as part of a photo project 

With permission, Lawver embedded herself with the Washington Heights parlor Gunmetal Tattoos and started photographing the customers getting their ink 

A young man is seen here getting words and symbols tattooed on his chest at the parlor in New York City

Elaborate: A woman lies back as she gets a tattoo around her belly button on her stomach, one of the more painful places to have ink 

Lawver said she experimented with light when taking the photos because of the parlor's dimness, changing the exposure of her frames

Intricate: Almost all of the people who were photographed were getting tattoos on their torsos or arms, like this man

Stone-faced: This man seems nonplussed as he gets a sleeve of tattoos inked on his left arm at Gunmetal Tattoos 

The photographer endeavored to find out what it's like to have ink done, because she doesn't have a tattoo herself
