First of all, zero corruption! Professionalism and people who are organizing tattoo conventions need to think about entertainment for visitors, so they don’t leave as soon as they have seen every booth with a tattoo artist in it. In my opinion, the best conventions which meet these criteria are the London Tattoo Convention, Amsterdam Tattoo Convention, and Milano Tattoo Convention. How would you describe the current status of tattoo by the general public in your country? In Latvia, there are different opinions about tattoos. Some people like them, some people don’t. Personally, I don’t listen to those who are saying mean things towards me. They don’t deserve my attention. Have you noticed any changes in the tattooing industry since you started? In the tattoo industry, everything changes very quickly. In my opinion, that is a very good thing because at the end of the day, tattoo artists can choose the most appropriate equipment for them. I am really happy that I can use tattoo cartridges instead of needles. Is there anything else you wish to say? I want to say thank you to all my friends, family members, my sponsors: Turanium Tattoo Machines and Radiant Colors USA. Special thanks to my wife who took a big part of who I am now. www.Facebook.com/TattoosbyMaksimsZotovs www.Facebook.com/TattoosLaky Instagram: @Laky_Tattoo 62 InkSpiredMagazine.com
