Glass Tattools: a new language for the skin
Created during my Masters research at FBAUL, the TATTOOLS are a radical departure from the pre-drawn design. They are a collection of handcrafted glass sculptures, each with its own unique shape and texture. This is not a style, but a living process that generates abstract compositions which are intrinsically and uniquely defined by the body that wears them.
What to expect from a tattools session?
This is an artistic ritual that thrives on freedom and trust. It cannot be planned on paper, only composed in the moment, with both of us present in the studio.
The Location: First, we define the available area on your body. Areas of movement, like joints, shoulders and ribs, are ideal as their natural contours provoke distortions when you move, bringing the tattoo alive.
The Composition: Using the set of TATTOOLS as a dictionary of characters, the stencil is built live on your body, layering and arranging them until we co-create a composition that feels right. A design that embraces your form and is literally defined by it.
The hard glass meets the variable softness of your body, printing a unique, unrepeatable mark with each impression. The TATTOOLS never produce the exact same image twice. This surrender to chance and the uniqueness of your body is the beauty of the process.
Choose your way
The TATTOOLS are available in two distinct modes, allowing you to shape the level of complexity:
MULTI: An expansive, bespoke composition. We use the entire dictionary of sculptures to create a complex, layered piece that is truly one-of-a-kind.
FLASH: A focused, immediate statement. We use selected individual TATTOOLS to create a powerful, singular impression. Check FLASH pieces availability here.
To provide pricing and understand your vision, the first step is to decide on the area for your tattoo - location and size. Come with an open mind and an abstract idea of the movement and flow you envision. The rest, we will discover together.
Let's create a piece that is fundamentally yours. A tattoo that can only exist on your body.
