A tattoo designed like a piece of jewellery — full back in the universe of Art Nouveau
A black and grey back tattoo, original illustration inspired by Édouard Bisson. Designed like a piece of jewellery — organic, fluid, built to adorn the body. Available for projects in London.
Adorning the body
Some projects come from a simple desire — to enhance, to adorn, to define curves without constraining them. This colour back tattoo, in the universe of Art Nouveau in Avignon, was born from exactly that. No rigidity, no absolute black. Just colour, softness, and a composition that adapts to the woman who wears it. Bisson's […]

Tattoo in Avignon — Art Nouveau, Colour and Neo-Traditional

A Framework Before a Direction Tattooing has been part of my world since birth. Graphicaderme has existed in Avignon since 1987, and I grew up within that environment without questioning whether I would eventually step into it myself. Machines running, conventions throughout the year, technical conversations and historical references formed the background long before I […]
What style will never say for you.
Style is everywhere. But when there's nothing behind it, you feel it instantly. What really matters is presence — what holds before style, and what remains after.
The body as a cultural surface
The body is never neutral. It carries signals, codes and history before any explanation. A surface that speaks — and that culture has always used as a space for meaning.
When art steps outside museums
When art steps outside museums, it loses its frame and its protection. It has to exist without being justified. Either it holds, or it does not.
The archetypes that shaped me
The figures that shaped me don't fit into a single style. Oasis, The Clash, Marilyn Manson, my father — what they share is presence. A way of holding their ground without making themselves acceptable.
My work featured in La Provence
La Provence selected one of my Art Nouveau colour back tattoos inspired by Alphonse Mucha for an end-of-year gift ideas article. A concrete recognition of the work at Graphicaderme in Avignon.

My name comes from Tamara de Lempicka. My parents loves Art Deco, the Victorian era — My fateher built an entire world around it. That taste stayed with me without me realising. Until I understood it was never a coincidence.
