"My relationship with the art of tattoo started quite early... I was fourteen, when my mother decided to give me a somewhat 'unusual' gift... By then I knew that this was only the beginning"!
Name: Evelyn
Profession: Nail Artist – Body Piercer.
Residence: Athens.
At the age of sixteen I became involved with body piercing, firstly as an amateur, but then I looked into it and I attended seminars, while I a have recently started working with dermal modification. At the same time, I am also a nail artist, which is something that I really love, because I love anything that allows me to create! In addition, since I was five years old, I have been horse riding and I adore it. I really think that there is something on the outside of a horse that affects the inside of the man in a positive way...
My love for tattoos started long before I had my first tattoo done. Since a really young age, I used to write on me with pen the names of the bands that I was listening to, in order to show other people that I had a 'tattoo'. Now, this art form has got into my life for good and I could never see myself differently.
I am currently inspired by people who manage to offer me inspiration, things that have marked me when I was growing up, music and movies that excite me. Fortunately, I was lucky that the artists that tattooed me so far are tattooists whose work I admire and whose style represents me. Most of my tattoos are done at Unicorn Tattoo; a studio that during the last five years has earned my trust, as in my opinion the whole crew is improving with time.
I think that tattoo art “spreads” over very quickly and many amazing artists have emerged. However, the fact that everybody appears to want the 'tattoo artist' title, it is something that I don't really like. Anyway, the only certain thing as far as I am concerned, is that my journey into the tattoo world will continue… Stay tuned!
