Artist in spotlight: Stacy

July 18, 2019July 20, 2019

I’m Stacy and I’m 32. I’ve been tattooing for five years now and it’s quite a story how I started my career. I lived in Denmark, I’m educated as an architect and I was doing my master there. I was also working in a restaurant kitchen as an extra job. There one of my colleagues … Continue reading Artist in spotlight: Stacy

Scarification by Lassi Sidoro (Graphic content)

November 22, 2018November 22, 2018

Scarification is an ancient form of body art. Due to its nature, you can’t expect to have a very detailed design. In scarification, primitive and simple designs always work best – the same kind of patterns that you can find in wooden reliefs and carved stones. I do scarifications mostly by skin removal or cutting. … Continue reading Scarification by Lassi Sidoro (Graphic content)

Artist in Spotlight: Annika Koivukorpi

August 30, 2018August 31, 2018

I went to study theatre nine years ago right after comprehensive school. There I got the idea that one day I’d become a tattoo artist. When I told my friend about it, she burst into laughter and after that, the idea was never brought up again. I’ve been drawing and painting since I was little, … Continue reading Artist in Spotlight: Annika Koivukorpi

Artist in spotlight: Nouvelle Rita

July 12, 2018July 17, 2018

My name is Nouvelle Rita. Originally, I’m from Portugal, but currently I work in London. I started tattooing in 2013, and I think it has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. Before tattooing, I had just finished university. I was looking for a job or an internship, but in Portugal, it’s … Continue reading Artist in spotlight: Nouvelle Rita

Artist in spotlight: Blackcap Tattoo

June 28, 2018June 28, 2018

I started tattooing two years ago. I saw on Facebook that Ravi-Lassi (link) was looking for an apprentice, and after thinking for a while I decided to apply. I had been admiring Lassi’s artwork for a long time and therefore felt quite nervous when I sent him an e-mail with some of my drawings. Earlier, … Continue reading Artist in spotlight: Blackcap Tattoo

Artist in spotlight: Hand poke tattoos by Joni

February 22, 2018February 22, 2018

Joni: “I’ve worked as a professional piercer for over eight years and tried tattooing around three years ago. I think of myself more as a piercer who does tattoos, not the other way round. I've tattooed my friends and myself few times with a machine but I get a better feeling of the skin with … Continue reading Artist in spotlight: Hand poke tattoos by Joni

Hei mussukat! Meillä HWT-tiimillä on tiedossa kiireinen syksy omien, henkilökohtaisten elämiemme kanssa. Niin kiireinen, ettei meillä millään riitä aikaa ja energiaa panostaa tähän mahtavaan projektiin siinä määrin kuin se vaatii. Halutaan kuitenkin tehdä kaikki hyvällä fiiliksellä ja täysillä, ei pakolla ja puolitehoilla. Kuvaamiseen, haastatteluun, muokkaamiseen ja kirjoittamiseen menee paljon aikaa, vaikka jaetaankin hommia. Kuitenkin jos niiden päälle tulee vielä perumisia tai muutoksia sovittuihin aikatauluihin, me ollaan aika liemessä. Päädyttiin siis yhdessä siihen, että pidetään pientä taukoa juttujen julkaisemisesta noin marraskuuhun asti. Kun on taas aikaa ja stressi hellittää, jatketaan juttujen tekemistä ja julkaisemista. Tarvitaan siis tietysti myös lisää haastateltavia! Jos vaan haluat olla mukana meidän projektissa, laita viestiä omasta tai vaikka kaverin puolesta, vastaillaan kun ehditään. Omia pikkutarinoita ja kuvia saa laittaa englanniksi tai suomeksi meille osoitteeseen hello@humanswithtattoos.com. Ne julkaistaan sellaisenaan meidän Instagramissa! Kiitos kun teette tätä meidän kanssa, palaillaan taas marraskuussa. Peace and love! //Hey cuties! We here in HWT team are going to have a super busy autumn with our own personal lives. It’s going to be so busy that we won’t have as much time and energy to put to this awesome project as we’d like to. After all, we want to do everything with good vibes and full energy, not push ourselves to the limits and still manage to do only okay. Taking pictures, editing them, doing the interviews and translating them takes time even when we do them together. However, if in addition to that there are cancellations or changes to schedules that were already agreed, we’re pretty fucked. So together we agreed on taking a small break of publishing the stories until about November. When we have time again and the stress relieves we’ll continue interviewing and publishing. Thank you for doing this with us and see you again in November. Peace and love! Pinja, Mervi & Elsa
"Olen viimeiset pari vuotta etsinyt erilaisia tapoja määrittää itseäni ja kokeillut elää erilaisissa rooleissa yhteiskunnassa. Olen päätynyt siihen, että olen onnellisimmillani jos ei tarvitse lokeroida itseään ja saa elää mahdollisimman vapaasti ilman turhia oletuksia tai lokeroita. Käytän kyllä sosiaalista miehen roolia, olen poikaystävä, mutta sekin on vain siinä tapauksessa, että pitää valita kahdesta. Koen olevani enemmän maskuliinisella puolella, mutta en ole täysin janan kummassakaan päässä. Suomen kielessä on onneksi helppoa, kun voi olla vain ”hän”. - Juno Junon tarina löytyy nyt suomeksi, bion linkin takaa! 🇫🇮 #hwtstories #hwtsuomeksi #tatuoidut #tatuointitarinat #eilokeroitavissa #hän #maskuliinisuus #feminiinisyys
"Usually the ideas and concepts just pop into my head and I don’t bother to think where they came from or why. But for this one on my stomach I got an idea from the movie Spirited Away from a scene where the main character is turning invisible. The other character takes hold of their hand and the main character starts turning visible again. I think it’s a beautiful scene and there is some symbolic meaning I can’t quite explain. There is certain sensitivity in that and the tattoo." - Juno New story! Thank you so much Juno for being part in our project! ✨ #hwtstories #spiritedaway #theythem #identity #tattoos #tattooed #design #drawing #blackandwhitetattoo
"Olen introvertti ihminen, ja asiakaspalvelutyöhön sisältyvä sosiaalisuus on vaatinut minulta paljon harjoittelua. Lisäksi ihmiset tuntuvat ajattelevan usein, että koska näytän tältä, olen ihmisenäkin tietynlainen. Kerran töissä työkaverini totesi, etten ole yhtään sellainen miltä näytän. Hän sanoi sen ihan positiivisesti, ja hetken aikaa mietittyäni totesin, että tuo on varmaan ihan totta. Vaikka näytän tältä ja saatan sen vuoksi vaikuttaa ihmisenä jotenkin kovalta, olen pohjimmiltani ihan herkkis." - Jenni-Reetan Jenni-Reetan tarina myös suomeksi ulkona!

"I’m an introverted person by nature, and I’ve needed lots of practice to gain the social skills that are needed in customer service. Many people seem to think that since I look like this, I must be a certain kind of person as well. Once a colleague told me that I’m actually very different than how I look. It was meant to be a positive comment, and after I thought about it for a while, I noticed that it might be true. Although I am like this and that might make me look like a tough person or something like that, deep down I’m super soft." - Jenni-Reeta New story is out again! Beautiful interview from amazing person, go check it out.

Throwback Thursday! "This tattoo is also so personal for me because I got this a year ago, before my personal hell started. I had a major depression phase, and now I have recovered, or I am still recovering from it. This tattoo is a reminder about that time and that in the future I would take better care of myself and would not let that kind of things happen again. That… I was depressed, and I also had a phase when I thought it would be just better to surrender and stop pushing forward. But then I decided that I want to do things, I want to act and I want to make good things happen in this world." - Orna Orna is nowadays part of this really cool media collective @rareonkova talking about important topics like global warming. Go check them out and give them likes (texts are in Finnish)! Thank you again Orna for sharing your thoughts! #hwtstories #hwtthrowback #raremedia #mentalhealth #depression #burnout #survivor #health
