In this issue meet our cover girl Sofa Oblina: raven hair, dark eyes, pale skin and horror for everything is commercial, banal, glitter. She is an artist and a tattoo artist with a passion for themes linked to superstition and magic tails.

Impact and harmony are two themes dear to Australian tattooist Adrian Hing, he has always loved tattooing animals like snakes, big cats, frogs and dragons using fuchsia and all pinks in general and adding always something new to these classic designs.

We go to Madrid to visit Debora Cherrys in her famous shop la Mujer Barbuda where she creates her Neo Traditional women’s faces which reflect her feminist style.

Jose Lopez is a face known to all in the tattoo trade, charismatic, respectful, you could describe him as a gent from times gone by. In this article we have decided to collect his reflections, tying them in with the most intimates aspects of his personality: that of the artist and creator of drawings of incomparable beauty where the contact with his private side emerges best.

In a small village in the French Rhone Alpes region we meet Michael Taguet to see his Realistic and colourful tattoos marked by the TV series and animated cartoons of the 80s and 90s.

We go to Canada to meet Ossian Staraj, a tattooist with French roots who has been living in Toronto for over two years now where he opened his studio La Manigance, an artistic collective with 13 members. He creates his tattoos where black meets Realism, Ornamental and elements from classical art.

We go to Germany, to visit the Evergreen Garden Atelier, a secret hideaway where tattoo is handled with all the care and delicacy in the world to ensure privacy and comfort for each and every client who crosses the threshold of this welcoming place. Waiting for us is Jen Tonic, eager to introduce us to the rest of the team, with feathers, fine line, delicate palettes of colours and themes in the Neo Traditional style.
