TOTAL TATTOO MAGAZINE 81TATTOOIST INTERVIEWTOTAL TATTOO MAGAZINE 81What do you do when you’re not
tattooing?
I have a few hobbies that I do now and
then, but spending time with family is the
most important thing to me. Any time I
get the chance, I focus on them.
You are now mentoring an
apprentice as well as managing
your own studio...
Yes. It feels like a big responsibility – for
him as a person, as well as for the work
he’s producing. As for running the studio
- before I opened my own place, I didn’t
realise there were so many things
involved! It’s all that behind-the-scenes
stuff. We’ve been open just over two
years now and we’ve become really well
regarded in our area for the work that
we produce.
Talk us through a typical Yarson
tattoo day.
My clients usually come into the studio in
the morning, and I have all my designs
ready to discuss with them. We decide on
the exact size and placement etc, then
the stencil is made. We will start
tattooing and take it from there really.
Depending on how the client is sitting, we
take breaks accordingly. In my studio we
have an open-plan tattoo room, so
although we all take it seriously we are
always up for a good laugh to make
everyone feel relaxed.Email [email protected]
