Jodic Chan’s inspiration comes from other people, as she incorporates the inspirations and needs from her clients in her designs. Her designs are somehow sketchy, with brushstrokes, but Jodic emphasises on details, making the design really pop and be unique. Jodic also does calligraphy and photography, her tattoo designs being immortalised trough potography.

Marynn, 21 years old., a french illustrator and master’s student in graphic design at ECV school in Nantes, France. She started illustration in 2010. Her work is inspired by everything, the people around her, song lyrics, personal stories, feelings, anything that can carry a message. In her illustrations she uses several photographs to catch the precious side of realism. Marynn’s weapons are her 2B pencil and a cup of patience. http://www.marynn.com #marynn #streetart

Delphine Noiztoy owns the The Lacemakers Sweatshop, a steampunk-inspired tattoo studio in London. Her portofolio is particulary interesting, as she brings a unique perspective to the tattoo genre by using not onlythe stippling effect for fluid tattoo designs, but also she is able to use only dots to shape realism, that turns every design into an amazing one.

CHAIM MACHLEV Berlin, Germany / Traveling dotstolines.com Dots To Lines Facebook Email: chaim.machlev@gmail.com Chaim’s line art is very organic, rhythmic and harmonious on the body, as you can see in his designs. He started tattooing only in 2012, and stated that he got into tattooing because of his first tattoo, done by Avi Vanunu, because it was the strongest impact on hs life, as he found the tattooing procedure a very spiritual and life changing one. His style is split betwen very minimalistic lines and very detailed mandalas, most of it being freehand. He stated that “Most of the lines are designed, and the process of designing is sometimes longer than the tattooing process itself. Our bodies are not symmetric, and to try to put a symmetric design on a non-symmetric object most of the time ends with it looking like a sticker.” He also experiments a lot, to develop his own style and to create something individual daily. “I use black as the main color for my tattoos simply because I think that it is the only color that will look timeless on a timeless design. I also think that it looks good on our bodies, more than any other color. I do use red sometimes, but it is very rare.” #CHAIMMACHLEV #tattooartist

Based in Belgium (most of the time), she splits her work betwen La Boucherie Moderne in Brussels, Art Corpus in Paris and Brighton’s Nine studio. She entered the tattooing scene by working as an aprentice for one month, before leaving to work with Fabrice from Tattoo Age, where she learned the art of tattoing. Her main influences are painters such as Alphonse Mucha and Egon Schiele, and her style is mostly sketchy and graphic, and prefferes working without a lot of colours.

He taught himself the art of skin, as he puts it, with a little help from friends. His style is clearly inspired by graphic drawings, geometry and sometimes even realism, but he manages to make his mark and deliver a very unique design with different tattooing tehniques, be it black&white or coloured.

With an amazing natural ability to make animated tattoos, Madame Chan uses a tehnique to change the form of the object she’s tattoing, the placement and overlapping of the shapes creates a sense of movement. She uses contrasting colours that help her illustrate and guide the viewer’s attention into the animation.

His work deals with the connections betwen tattoos and graffitii, symbols and concepts of these visuals that are linked to delinquency and it’s consquences, creating his own style combining the two. Taiom’s designs are related to a certain marginality, as Rodrigo Botero stated about him ” Taiom has been contributing in this process with his life experiences and experimentations, especially in the street art. He adds a new reading, a new reflection , a possible path to the body engraving context. and that’s vanguard.” TAIOM Distrito Federal, Brazil taiom.org Taiom VCT Facebook Phone: +55 (61) 3226 0976 Email: sktaiom@gmail.com Text: Patricia Pitner #taiom #tattooartist

What do you think about the auction houses selling street art? I was very embarrassed when my canvases began to fetch high prices, I saw myself condemned to a future of painting nothing but masterpieces –  Henri Matisse What do you say to people who claim the way you express yourself is crass, dumb and simplistic? Well duh. Why are you such a sell out? I wish I had a pound for every time someone asked me that. Is Exit Through the Gift Shop real? Yes. Are you still friends with Mr. Brainwash? I like to think so. When I asked him what he thought about the film he said  “This is a cult movie, this is a classic movie, this movie stands alone – like The Godfather.” What’s the story with Robbo? This Do you need an intern? No thanks. Do you donate pictures for charity auctions? What are you? Blind? In which case maybe. I mostly support projects working to restore sight and prevent eye disease. Or ‘expanding the market’ as you might call it. #banksy #streetart
