Roof of mouth tattoos aren't a particularly popular phenomenon, but there's growing popularity in Brussels, thanks to Belgian tattoo artist Indy Voet. Working from The Purple Sun Tattoo Parlour, Indy's work largely consists of solid traditional designs and blackwork. He also does hand-poked tattoos for the smaller, more intricate designs, such as roof of mouth tattoos, which he's been doing for around 5 years.
Geishas are traditional Japanese female entertainers who act as hostesses, performing in Geisha houses across Japan. These Geishas are highly educated, and trained in the arts of music, dance, and entertainment. A Geisha will often spend years learning to play various instruments or training to sing, offering skills that entertain men. People often associate them with prostitution, but their roles are entirely different, and they are a symbol of unattainable perfection.
A question that tattooed people are regularly asked is; 'But what will they look like when you're old?'. We've always found this question to be quite peculiar, because when we're old and wrinkled we'll probably have bigger worries than what our tattoos will look like, and we'll be extremely grateful if feeling self-conscious about our skin is the most dire issue we have.
