I try to express myself by the image and to evolve through the various techniques to be assimilated, to be more precise in my method. My some years of exercises made me develop a commercial stucture of the tattoo.  I do not regret this, this method allowed me to understand in which point the tattoo is also a business.  What made me won some money.  But to be conscious of it and to continue to persist in this sens, does not develop me.  I worked to cover the skin, with most of the time, the requirements and the will of the other one : my customer.   Today, I know that the most precious time is the one that stays in us and I want to live it in agreement with myself, without making too much concession.  I was able to notice artists tattooists at the top of their glory and to stay in the shadow of their success, all their remaining life.  I do not want of it for me.  I like tattooing but I do not want to be the slave of my dream.  I wish to be recognized by my peers, finally to have the feeling to have made a success of something in my life.  The paradox is that the school of the tattoo overflows of lively cutaway people, which are too thirsty of the same gratitude.  This pursuit is completely ended for me, what allowed me to find time and a lot of energy to approach my work.  An approach which joins in a more and more personal step, what not restrain me to approach the works of the others, to study or simply to please me and please people whom I appreciate.

 The influence of very famous painters or tattooists marked out my route at the risk, sometimes, to inspire me or to appropriate their style.  It was indeed a route of more exactly one of a learning where the references are almost compulsory.  In some tribes, they eat some organs of their opponents to appropriate their force.  I do not imagine to eat for all that...Guy, Paul, Jack or Cyril.  Why among whom, one to know how to be able to everything, make to be better ?  Who is the artist, who is able to all these styles but especially where is the style ? 

 We open , a galery in Vaison la Romaine to expose in a permanent way, the works of the tattooists joining this optics.  The tattoo remains most of the time a provision of a service, while the personal works of these persons receiving benefits, are loaded with a big sensibility.  Why not to suspect new horizons ?  We belong to a culture rich in images, in symbols, but so in gap with the institutions of the market of the contemporary art.  We shall practice on the spot, so as to be on the scene.  But, notice, I work for me, what do not restrain you, to be sensitive to my method.

  In that case, please do not ask to reproduce the work of someone or someone else.  Not after these lines.  The other studios stay right at there place, I continue this fabulous travel, which consists in working with my friends, with whom I grew.  I thank Patrick, my brother, for his listening and its spirit of analysis.  The life did not always make us the easy things, what moves closer us in the interpretation of the life throught the image. 

 Thanks to Flo, Don and National, who allowed me to show me to a world... of tattoo.
World in which I would like to show the image of a man surrounded with his wife and his children,
 in a region which he likes to work.
