Story about me published on the brand new blog for Paris Tattoo Convention

[joakim urma]

My friend Céline Aieta interviewed me about collecting tattoos and my photography project tied to that, when we both got tattooed by Guy Le Tatooer in Toulouse this March. She is running the new, all year 'round-blog for the Paris convention, Mondial Du Tatouage.

Have a look:

It's all in french, but try google translate and it converts it to english pretty well.

Was fun to be a part of this!

Just a suggestion. You should embed the google translate widget to the site for lazy people like me! LOL

Awesome site!

That was a really nice and thoughtful interview. Thanks for sharing it.

Who did your friend's backpiece? It's stunning. (I'm sorry if this is in the piece and I missed it - my French comprehension isn't what it used to be.)

It's Guy Le Tattooer

Yeah it's Guy. They started that with tattooing the lines and some of the black over the course of three consecutive days. Guy tattoos smaller pieces with opened 8 liner needles, and I think the lines on her back might be even wider. To get it in properly he goes really slow. You can see in the pictures the piece I have on my lower abdomen. I was surprised by how long it took to get all that ink in. I can only imagine the brutality of having the spine, ribs and ass tattooed over the course of a week end. Hats off to Céline for being mentally strong and braving that!
