Joni ‘Tapaturma’

November 29, 2018December 13, 2018

The name ”Tapaturma” (in English: injury/accident) goes back far in the past. I’ve been doing freak show for over 20 years, and somehow I’ve managed to damage my body quite a lot on my free time as well. During the years, I’ve broken my bones about twenty times, crushed my joints, dislocated my shoulder a … Continue reading Joni ‘Tapaturma’

"I currently study nursing. I’ve worked short periods on elderly care every now and then, and I was warned beforehand that old people might look down on a tattooed nurse. The funny thing is, most of the old people I meet actually like my tattoos. Especially people with dementia might find tattoos really interesting and marvel at them for a long time. So in a way, my tattoos have occasionally even been a benefit – at least they have worked as a subject for many conversations!" - Riikka New story is out!

🇬🇧 This month it will be two years since I started this whole project called Humans with Tattoos. I was living and working in the capital city of Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, cleaning toilets and serving mojitos in a hostel. With me there was working this awesome and beautiful soul from Switzerland, named Flora. So many laughs, so many deep conversations. One idea of sharing stories via tattoos, and boom, here we are. Flora was the first story I ever shared and rest is history You can find the link in our bio! . . . . 🇫🇮 Tässä kuussa tulee kaksi vuotta täyteen siitä, kun aloitin Humans with Tattoos -projektin. Asuin ja työskentelin Dominikaanisen Tasavallan pääkaupungissa, Santo Domingossa, siivoten vessoja ja tarjoillen mojitoja hostellissa. Samaan aikaan siellä työskenteli tämä ihan huikea ja mahtava mimmi Sveitsistä, nimeltään Flora. Niin paljon naurua ja syvällisiä keskusteluita, Flora myös todisti kun huusin Karibialaiselle poliisille. Yksi idea tarinoiden jakamisesta tatuointien kautta ja boom, tässä ollaan. Flora oli ensimmäinen tarina jonka ikinä jaoin, ja loppu on historiaa. Linkki löytyy biosta! - Pinja #hwtstories #humanswithtattoos #tattooed #santodomingo #myfirststory #switzerland #gugge #dragonflytattoo
"I always have three cactuses in my room. They are those small cactuses you can buy from Ikea. There’s no special reason for the number – they just sell them in sets of three, that’s all! I don’t know why, but it’s important for me to always put all the cactuses together. I think it would be sad if there was only one plant standing alone." - Tuan New story! Amazing Tuan shared how he came to Finland, got his tattoos and what memories those hold. Go check it out!

"Kun kävin viime vuonna tutustumassa uuteen kouluuni Torniossa ensimmäistä kertaa, panin myös merkille mielenkiintoisen eron tatuointeihin liittyen. Vieraillessani paikallisessa ostoskeskuksessa näin paljon ihmisiä, joilla oli monia näkyviä tatuointeja, joten sulauduin itsekin kuvaan varsin helposti. Paluumatkalla puolestaan vietin muutaman tunnin Kemissä, jossa tatuointeja ei näkynyt läheskään yhtä paljon, mutta sen sijaan siellä ihmiset tuntuivat tuijottavan senkin edestä. Kummallista, miten ilmapiiri muuttui täysin, vaikka kaupunkien välillä on vain parikymmentä kilometriä." - Tea Tean tarina nyt Suomeksi! 🔥💪 . . . . . #humanswithtattoosproject #humanswithtattoos #hwtproject #liisaihmemaassa #kaukametsänpakolaiset #etsiväkettu #tatuoinnit #lappi #pohjoinen #kemi #tornio #suomi #finland #kyllä
"Last year, when I went to visit my new school in Tornio for the first time, I also noticed an interesting difference considering tattoos. As I visited the local shopping centre, I saw many heavily tattooed people, so I was easily blended in the crowd. When I traveled back home, I spent a couple of hours in the neighbouring town Kemi and noticed how there were much less tattoos to be seen and instead, people seemed to stare at my appearance. It’s strange, really, how the atmosphere turned completely different, even though the two cities are located only a little over twenty kilometres away of each other." - Tea It's time! New story is out including Alice in Wonderland, detective fox, pin-up and many more! Link in bio.
