Although I have participated in some conventions, I still don’t
have a formed idea about this. I still don’t have a lot of experience. I can say the ones I participated in and visited were
positive in every aspect.
How would you describe the current status of tattoos by the
general public in your country?
It is still considered taboo, although we have a bigger public
now. I think that the influence of the media, with its TV shows
about tattoos, has helped people to appreciate the tattoo as a
form of art, and not synonymous with marginality and delinquency.
Have you noticed any changes in the tattooing industry since
you started?
I have noticed that the tattoo industry has grown lately, and
since the information is of easy access, there has also been an
exponential, quantity, and qualitative increase of tattoo artists.
How has the tattooing industry changed, in your opinion, since
shows like LA, NY, MIAMI and LONDON INK have been broadcasted to the nation?
Like I said before, these shows definitely created a type of
“boom” in the tattoo world, which was very visible in my country.
