People - Issue 19

My relationship with tattoo started somewhat when I was eighteen. My brother had begun tattooing (JIMAS) and I as the younger sister I entered the world of tattoo... And as he went on, I went on. Through him I met, I learned and I became involved in the tattoo field, and here we are seven years later working together with my brother and I'm his biggest fan!
