About - Tamara Chaudesaigues

I am Tamara, a French web designer and tattoo artist. I created Minuit d’Orsay, a studio specialising in editorial websites, visual identities and art direction.

On this blog, I share my discoveries, projects and the things that shape my eye, across Paris, London and the South of France.

Creativity has always taken up a lot of space in my life. When I was younger, I studied graphic design in Aix-en-Provence and, today, I work mainly as a web designer.

I founded Minuit d’Orsay, my Parisian agency dedicated to the image of brands, places and projects. Visual identity, graphic design, website creation, events... I love imagining a project as a whole and making sure everything tells the same story, right down to the details you might not necessarily notice at first glance — but which change absolutely everything.

At the same time, I am continuing with tattooing. On paper, creating a website and tattooing skin might seem quite far apart. In my head, not really. In both cases, I work around image, composition, lines and identity.

In my work as a tattoo artist, I draw inspiration in particular from Art Nouveau and Art Deco. I like to think of a tattoo as a piece of jewellery worn on the body: it complements a silhouette, accentuates movement and makes a statement about a person. It is not simply a drawing placed on the skin. It must find its place on the body and be able to remain there for a long time without losing its presence.

Fashion, perfumes, fine hotels, restaurants, cafés, and objects and places with real personality have always appealed to me. I can spend far too much time looking at a typeface on a menu, the lighting in a room or the packaging of a perfume — occupational hazard, probably.

It is often these details that build a universe and make a home, a brand or a place recognisable even before reading its name. This is exactly what I look for in my work as a web designer: creating something coherent, unique and immediately identifiable.

This blog brings together the projects, places and visual references that shape my work, from fashion and beauty to design, tattooing and travel, across Paris, London and the South of France.

On this blog, I share my favourites in fashion, beauty, lifestyle and culture, as well as my top addresses, my discoveries, the events I attend and the projects that shape my daily life between the South and Paris.

I studied graphic design in Aix-en-Provence. Today, I work mainly as a web designer and I'm developing Minuit d'Orsay, my agency dedicated to the image of brands, places and projects, from their identity right through to their online presence and events.

At the same time, I am continuing with tattooing. These two activities complement each other, as they are both linked to imagery, composition and identity. In my work as a tattoo artist, I draw inspiration in particular from Art Nouveau and Art Deco, with the idea of ornamenting the body as one would wear a piece of jewellery. For me, a tattoo is not simply a drawing on the skin: it enhances a silhouette, asserts a personality and can become a true accessory.

I have always been very sensitive to fashion, beautiful places, perfumes, scents and objects that tell a story. It is often these details that build a world, make us recognisable and contribute to our identity. This is also what I look for in web design: creating a coherent, unique and immediately identifiable image.

This blog is a more personal space where I can bring together my inspirations, my projects and everything I love to share on a daily basis.
