What do I like the most about tattooing?

I would say being responsible for myself and my own progress. So if I fell asleep on the boil, it would be entirely my fault. So I'm like the keeper of the fire, making sure my will and passion doesn't just burn out. Everyone I know in my life contributes to that fire, whether it is by the story they carry or whether I can enrich it with some experience of my own. Our meetings are therefore very important to me and I appreciate the trust that my clients place in me.

It's about communication, but it's also about silence. Silence together is the most beautiful state of being. During long sessions I go into a bit of a trance ( meditation if you will ), I can't hear, I can't see anything but the hum of the machine and the ink under skin. So tattooing for me is not just the final image, but the whole process from start to finish.
