Tattoo Flash from the French Kiss Project: Collaborative Flash Pairings by Tattoo Artists from Around the World

After graduating with a master's degree in design, John Stone worked for Cartier for ten years. During art events, he met tattoo artist Big Cyrus, who introduced him to the art of tattooing. In 2015, he completed his apprenticeship at Pardon Maman and joined the Parisian boutique Tribal Act a few years later. His style is effective and colorful, modern and respectful of traditional American tattoo codes. He now lives and works on the north coast of Brittany.

Tiwan has been a tattoo artist since 2015 and runs Spirit Tattoo Rennes in Brittany. After a two-year apprenticeship there, he delved into different styles before specializing in traditional American. Offering a wider palette of colors while paying attention to detail, Tiwan presents a modern reinterpretation of this heritage.

After working as a graphic designer, El Bent met a tattooer in Portugal that told him he should start learning the craft. He did so in Paris and started to work in a tattoo shop. Five  years later he opened his own parlor, True Love, which is celebrating its 11th anniversary.
