Conclusion
A documentary based around the life of Charlie; an aspiring female tattoo artist who is trying to break through to London and the States. From this we can explore the issues of gender equality in the world of an also questioned art.
We are choosing Charlie because of the fact of both gender equality in society, and tattooing is still a subject that is not totally agreed on in society and therefore challenging to the viewer.
