A visual research publication around the subculture of traditional tattooing in current time.

“A craft that transcends all social and cultural layers of society.”
The technique with which the pigments are brought underneath the skin has not undergone any significant change during the course of history.
“The notion that you have a choice in what or where you put something on your body intrigues us. This freedom, often looked at as rebellious can by found in every culture throughout times.”

o r t n The process is the craft. The content is the art.
“We do not want to push to the extremes, just because we feel we will always come back to the traditional. We give our lives for this craft, trying to maintain quality.”
“Applying the theory of its philosophy, symbolism and placement makes for the value of the tattoo to rise as a craft and an art.”
“Just because you can, could already be a good reason to think about it.”
