Take us through how you were introduced to art?
My uncle was a painter and I was always watching him paint. It was really inspiring to me and I grew up with this idea of becoming an artist. I didn't study art or become a painter, but it was always in the back of my mind.
How did you get into tattooing?
At one point, I was living in Shanghai right next to a tattoo shop. I already had a few tattoos of my own and [the shop] looked like a really cool atmosphere. They seemed really happy. I was studying and working in a nightclub. I didn't really like what I was doing at the time, so the idea of trying to tattoo started there.
How did you learn to tattoo?
I didn't get an apprenticeship, I learned by myself. When I got back home to Paris, one of my friends was starting to tattoo and I watched him a bit for the basics. Then I started on fake skin and tattooing myself. After that I moved on to tattooing my friends and other people.
