Preparing for a painkilling jab, a circumciser opens the trousers of a boy. Kemal Özkan's Circumcision Palace, Istanbul, Turkey

In order to give him a painkilling jab, a circumciser opens the trousers of a boy who is about to be circumcised at Kemal Özkan's Circumcision Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. Next to them a clown acts in a funny way to make the boy relax. As custom dictates, the boy is dressed up as a small sultan or prince.
