Ikare
Doing a job that occupies both my mind and my hands was something that I felt like needing as soon as I started working.
I came to tattooing through graffiti, one of my crew mate was already into tattoos and after being tattooed by him he proposed to try and I got instantly hooked. After some time of working in
service and learning how to tattoo on the side I finally decided to leave France, drop my bags in Greece and professionalize myself as a tattooer. It’s an indescribable pleasure to learn everyday something new, either tattoo technics or by meeting strangers for the time of the session, it’s a never ended renewal that feeds my soul.
Through my dear friend who was already part of the Dildo team, Manu, I had the pleasure to join a shop where we share artistic views, values and family-like relationships.
My tattoos are heavily influenced by Heroic fantasy, traditional American old school and Illustrative blackwork. The world around me plays a big part in my design and I’m always
searching to open new horizons, through life experiences, meeting new people or gazing at the moon on top of a hill.
ΕΡΩΤΗΣειΣ
When did you first think you would get involved in TATTOO?
I started thinking about doing tattoos after my second tattoo, it was done by a friend of mine who wanted me to tattoo him. The result was shit but it was quite the experience and since then I
cannot stop
What DIFFERENT TATTOO styles do you do?
The style I prefer doing is linework with a dash of whipshading, but I really enjoy old school traditional and blackwork. Lately I’m really into gravure and I’m pushing toward this style more,
come get some!!!
Give ONE piece of advice to someone starting TATTOO in Athens
The advice I would give to somebody who starts tattooing is to search for a lot of different influences to put in their drawings, not only tattoos but classical art, photography, music… the idea is to get inspired but what’s around you close or far away!
Describe an uncomfortable tattoo session
I had clients who wanted a matching tattoo, they were foreigners and wanted a word as a souvenir of Greece. The word they wanted is “απόδειξη”, as proof of love. I tried for a long time to explain to them that’s a bad translation but they got the tattoo anyway
Tell us about the most difficult tattoo customer you've had
I’m generally very lucky and almost all of my sessions are going smoothly, I got a tattoo to do on the ribs of a client who was very very ticklish. I thought that the pain from the tattoo would not
made them twitch but I was wrong. I spent some hours fighting the jumps they had from laughing, better then crying I guess
How do you imagine the future of TATTOO?
Seeing how tattoo changed in the last years I think boundaries with be pushed again and again, for better or worst.
What is the last tattoo and what is the last body piercing you did on yourself?
My last tattoo is a black and white American old school heart with 4 numbers inside, can you guess which ones?
I don’t have any piercings and I’m not planning to get any.
