2021 is not something i will se as an success, there have been many problems for suppliers over the world, because of the covid, but also artists, convention organisors and the manufactores of tattoo ink due to the new EU laws.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TATTOOING AND HOW DID YOU START YOUR TATTOOING JOURNEY?

-I’VE BEEN TATTOOING FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. I WAS HOPING TO START EARLIER AND I HAD AN APPRENTICESHIP LINED UP WHEN I WAS 16 BUT MY FAMILY MOVED BEFORE I COULD GET STARTED, THEN I JOINED THE ARMY WHERE EVERYBODY SAID WHY DON’T YOU TATTOO, ETC… AND THEN THROUGH ONE OF MY FRIENDS THEY KNEW A TATTOO ARTIST WHO I GOT AN APPRENTICESHIP WITH EVENTUALLY :)! I LEARNED THE MOST FROM MESSAGING SOME ARTISTS AND ASKING ABOUT HOW TO DO EVERYTHING FROM SHADING ETC AND FROM GETTING TATTOOED BY PEOPLE FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD I’VE BEEN FROM AMERICA SOUTH KOREA ENGLAND FRANCE BUT IN EACH PLACE THE ARTIST WORKING ON ME TAUGHT ME SO MUCH TO THE POINT I’M AT NOW.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT WAS THE FIRST TATTOO YOU DID? IF SO, TELL US WHAT IT WAS AND FOR WHO?

-INDEED I TATTOOED SOMEONE’S KNEES WITH TWO BIG SMILEY FACES FOR THIS GUY WHO EVERYONE IN HIS FAMILY HAD THEM WHICH WAS AMAZING AHA AND THEN I WRAPPED HIS KNEES UP IN A BLUE ROLL AND BRIGHT PINK CAMO TAPE SO HE HAD SOME FANCY KNEE PADS DO YOU HAVE ANY MEMORABLE TATTOO STORY OR A CUSTOMER THAT HAS STUCK WITH YOU THROUGH ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE BEEN TATTOOING?

-HMMM… I ONCE TATTOOED A GUY FOR 14 HOURS AND THEN HE CRIED A LITTLE AND THEN HIS WIFE CAME IN AND LAUGHED AT HIM BUT SHE WAS THE MANAGER AT THE SUBWAY ACROSS THE ROAD SO I GOT FREE SUBWAYS FOR A MONTH AHA

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AND DREAMS? IF YOU THINK ABOUT YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

-I WOULD LOVE TO ONE DAY WHEN I’M OLDER AND SETTLED TO HAVE A SHOP HOWEVER I’M VERY CONTENT TRAVELING AROUND AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE :)! WHEN I WAS YOUNGER MY MUM ALWAYS TOLD ME ” THERE’S ALWAYS GOING TO BE SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU, SO TRY TO BE THAT BETTER PERSON” SO I HOPEFULLY WILL BE BETTER AND BETTER AND I WON’T STOP LEARNING :)! ALSO HOPEFULLY I’LL BE GUESTING IN AUSTRALIA, AMERICA, OR JAPAN :)!

DOES ANYONE OR ANYTHING INSPIRE YOU?

-THERE WERE A FEW THINGS THAT INSPIRED ME GROWING UP, THE FIRST WAS MY GRANDFATHER (KIYOHARU) AS HE LIKED TO PAINT AND WE ALWAYS HAD A PAINTING HE DID HANG UP IN THE BATHROOM OF MT FUJI AND FROM THEN ONWARDS I STARTED TO DRAW EVERY DAY. IN MY EVERYDAY WORK, I’M INSPIRED BY NATURE

PHOTOGRAPHY AND PLAYING WITH THE DEPTH OF FIELD IN IMAGES.

ARE THERE ANY TATTOO ARTISTS WHO ARE EXTREMELY ADMIRABLE TO YOU? IF SO WHO?

-THE PERSON I ADMIRE MOST WOULD BE THOMAS

CARLI JARLIER. WHEN I FIRST GOT INSTAGRAM I SAW HIS TATTOOS AND IT WASN’T JUST TATTOO LOOKING IT MORE LOOKED LIKE A PAINTING/ PHOTOGRAPHY SO FROM THEN ONWARDS I WAS LIKE “I WANT TO BE LIKE HIM”

PLEASE, TELL US ABOUT YOUR CURRENT TATTOO STYLE AND HOW IT HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

- AT FIRST, I DID A LOT OF WORK MIXED WITH IDEAS. THEN I BEGAN TO USE TOUGH, DIRTY EXPRESSIONS, AND A YEAR AGO, I STARTED TO PAINT A LOT OF ABSTRACT, SURREALIST PAINTINGS.

DOES ANYONE OR ANYTHING INSPIRE YOU?

- INSPIRED BY MANY PAINTERS AND WORKERS. BUT AT THE MOMENT I OPEN MY DOOR AND ENTER THE ROOM, THE MOST INSPIRATION COMES TO MY MIND.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AND DREAMS? IF YOU THINK ABOUT YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

- MY DREAM IS TO MAKE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD RECOGNIZE ME. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE FAMOUS BY GETTING A TATTOO, BUT I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED BY MANY PEOPLE RATHER THAN PEOPLE WHO WANT ME TO BE FAMOUS.

DO YOU LIKE VISITING OR EXHIBITING AT TATTOO CONVENTIONS? WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ANY OF THEM?

- I LOVE BOTH EXHIBITIONS AND CONVENTIONS. I LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN CONVENTIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA BECAUSE I LIKE TO PLAY AND CHILL. UTOPIA, INDEED.

ANY ARTIST YOU PLANNING TO GET TATTOOED BY? WHO HAS TATTOOED YOU ALREADY?

- MY BODY IS ALREADY FULL OF TATTOOS MADE BY FRIENDS I MET.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TATTOOING AND HOW DID YOU START YOUR TATTOOING JOURNEY?

- I’VE BEEN A TATTOOIST FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AND I HAVE LIKED TO DOODLE SINCE I WAS YOUNG, BUT I REMEMBER I WAS SCOLDED A LOT FOR DOODLING ON NOTEBOOKS OR BOOKS. BUT IT WAS SO ATTRACTIVE TO BE ABLE TO SCRIBBLE ON THE BODY.

IS THERE ANY ART FORM THAT FASCINATES YOU ALSO EXCEPT TATTOOING? MAYBE DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PASSION OR SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY ENJOY DOING?

- I LIKE EVERYTHING I DO WITH MY HANDS. ESPECIALLY I LIKE TO MAKE THINGS THAT ARE USEFUL IN LIFE OR WHAT I NEED. I ALSO LIKE TO DRAW PICTURES ON CLOTHES I BOUGHT AND WEAR THEM.

8 GIFTS IDEAS FOR TATTOO FANs

1. TATTOO VOUCHER

One thing is for sure, for a tattoo fan there is nothing better than another tattoo. Therefore, remember that you can always gift a tattoo voucher to the favorite tattoo artist of the person you are gifting.

2. TATTOO HISTORY BOOK

Getting a tattoo is a great thing, but everyone should ask themselves once what is the history of this pernamental way of decorating the body. Tattoo History book will surely help in that.

3.

TATTOO

PRINT CUSHION COVER

We sleep a huge part of our lives. Therefore, it is worth taking care of comfort and buy yourself comfortable pillows. Why buy any when you can have super pillows in tattoo motifs, right?

4. TATTOO TAROT

We don’t know much about tarot, but if the tattoo fan you want to give a gift to is also a tarot lover, then such cards will surely give a lot of happiness.

5. TATTOO MACHINE POSTERS

Many of us hang really different things on the wall. One of them might be a poster depicting a tattoo machine. It is also a great idea to buy a print from your favorite artist.

6. MUG

Coffee, tea or any other beverage will surely taste better in your favorite mug. A tattoo fan will be very happy with a mug that refers to a tattoo.

7. WALL CLOCK

It is said that happy people do not count time, but for those who keep track of the time or just want to decorate a room with a wall clock, a great gift will be a tattoo wall clock.

8. TATTOO MUG 45

For those who like to decorate their apartment a great gift would be a tattoo rug. There are plenty of patterns so we are limited only by our imagination.
