Featured in Tattoo Magazine’s 2026 Tattoo Artist Guide

After Here Vaucluse and Provence, it is this time in the Tatouage Magazine's 2026 Tattoo Artists Guide where you can find my work.

I received their message a few weeks before the Marseille convention. I was scrolling through Instagram, and suddenly I saw a notification: "Tatouage magazine has sent you an invitation!" And they simply asked if I would agree to appear in this new edition.

Well, at that point I thought to myself: 2026 is getting off to a cracking start!

What made me happiest above all is that Tatouage Magazine is one of the magazines I've known forever. My father was featured in it several times over the years, so I grew up seeing these magazines at home. I used to flick through them without really imagining that one day, I too might have a page in it. If you are discovering my work with this article, I talked about it more extensively my journey between tattooing, design and web design here.

The tattoos I chose to send

When they asked me for photos, I didn't think I absolutely had to send the most recent tattoos.

I rather felt like choosing projects that tell a part of my journey, tattoos that marked a milestone, that required a huge amount of work from me, or that represent a direction I wanted to take at that time.

The first one I thought of is obviously my back inspired by Alphonse Mucha.

This is a piece that meant a great deal to me. It allowed me to go much further into large-scale colour compositions and I think it's truly a tattoo that marked a turning point in the way I work.

I was telling you her whole story in My first back piece, a full-colour Art Nouveau-inspired tattoo.

I also sent my colour giant peacock moth. It took us around forty hours of work and, even today, it is probably one of the most ambitious projects I've undertaken.

If you have never seen it, I dedicated an entire article to it: Colourful peacock tattoo: a forty-hour back piece.

I also chose the portraits inspired by Tamara de Lempicka.

You will surely know this if you have been following my work for a while, but I really love this artist. Her work has inspired me for years and still greatly influences the way I construct certain compositions.

I will tell you more about it in this article dedicated to the project.

The guide also presents Élise's back, with its Japanese crane and flowers, as well as Thomas's full sleeve inspired by Mucha.

When I look at this selection today, I realise that it represents quite well the different things I've wanted to do over the last few years.

It's not just about tattoos

I took the opportunity to send in one of my oil paintings, it went well with the theme of the selected tattoos.

I am mostly known for tattooing, but painting has also been part of my work for a long time. I talk less often about that part here, so I was pleased that it also found its place in the guide.

Deep down, I don't really make a distinction between the two. I find the same references, the same colours and the same way of constructing an image.

It still does something to you

When I got the guide, I went straight to page 108, obviously! 😂

Seeing several years of work brought together on a single page really gives you a special feeling. When you tattoo, you move very quickly from one project to the next. And the biggest pieces sometimes follow us for months, or even several years, while we find dates that suit everyone. In the end, you move forward without really taking the time to look at everything you did a few years earlier.

Here, everything is brought together in one place.

Mucha's back, the peacock, the portraits of Lempicka, Élise's back, Thomas's arm and even one of my paintings.

Looking at this page, what struck me most was that each of these projects tells a different period of my journey.

And I think that's rather neat. If you come across the Tattoo Artists' Guide 2026, you will be able to find me at page 108.

And if you've already got it in your hands, let me know what you think! I'd really love to hear your feedback. ❤️
