No title?
Can I even do that?
I would like to thank all the nice customers who are opened to discussion.
All I want is to try my best to make a tattoo look as good as I can.
Saturday I took a super short back and forth trip to meet the guys from steel workshop
And to tattoo mister Johann Morel
Have a nice week!
So I'm on my way working out tattoo designs, elaborating tattoos for clients.
I feel very implicated whenever I discuss with customers about tattoo projects. Sometimes there is a special connection I feel between us, and I can manage some creative space for a special composition, or even work out the design in a way I think will be looking better on the skin.
I listen to your idea, we talk about composition, how to make the tattoo work nicely with the body. I try to apply the rules of good tattooing, ways to think a design out so the drawing will both be personal and looks like a classic tattoo. It has to be yours, and unique, and personal, but somehow classic, "a tattoo that looks like a tattoo".
See, I think if you want to get your body marked for life, willing to endure pain (well, of course it hurts), ready to spend money on it... The least I could do is make sure you get something you will be proud of, even 10 years later.
In the summer, if you ever go to the beach you'll see tons of naked human skin laying on the sand or swimming in the water. Now when you observe a little more, you can notice there are lots and lots of people wearing tattoos.
And here comes the trick: you will notice that those tattoos can fit in two categories.
1: the little "souvenir" tattoo.
impersonal, artistically poor, sometimes not even well made. Something so simple, you feel nothing when you look at it, because the design doesn't have enough visual impact.
2: the "real" tattoo.
When you see one, you feel something. It usually implies that you picture yourself with it, and have an immediate emotion about it.
It looks like a tattoo, and not like a graphic logo of some 1rst page of google or something.
Either you love it, either you don't, but you know right away the idea is personal.
My main goal is to push my clients to get tattoos that fit the #2 category.
I want YOU, dear customer, to feel happy about your tattoo. I want you to remember all the good times you had when you had it done, and the person you are through that cool tattoo.
Mainly, I just wish you to love your tattoos and be proud of them for the rest of your life.
Thanks for reading, love and peace
Sylvain.
