Who Is Eustiquio Lugo

Many people modify their bodies in the name of art. This is called Body Art, a type of artistic expression in which the human body itself becomes a canvas through which the artist can express his or her ideas and feelings.

Extensions, subdermal implants, scarification, dental filing, tongue splitting and waist training with corsets are all regular practices in this world. However, tattoos and piercings are the more widely known forms of it.

We chatted to Alberto about the inspiration behind his pieces and the affects of the pandemic on tattooing.. . How long have you been a tattoo artist? I did my first tattoo at 18 so this year it’s my seventh anniversary in the tattoo world. The first thing I did after turning 18 was get a tattoo. I immediately fell in love with this world and started visiting the tattoo studio almost on a daily basis. One year after I finished high-school I started my apprenticeship in the same tattoo shop.

We caught up with her to find out more – spoiler alert, she loves Disney tattoos as much as we do. Tell us about your tattoo collection. When was your first?  My first tattoo was a tiny roll of film on my left shoulder, it was done by Tyree Patrick of Big Nerd Tattoos  – he is the only person I have been tattooed by.

A Darker Shade: Interview with Tattoo Artist Jenny MY Dubet

Image
Tattooer, Jenny MY Dubet,  who works at Gypsy Blood in London, may have have only just started working in the industry, but she’s already creating powerful work. Her illustrations are much like black lace: delicate but also dark. With a saturnine aura, Jenny takes classic iconography and makes it her own with a hint of ancient etching or esoteric engraving aesthetics.

And although getting tatto
