The Grace Of Etching. A Chat With Tattoo Master Marco C. Matarese
“I’m not jealous of my secrets. I’m very open. I don’t take part in many tattoo conventions, but recently we did one in Milan and we’ve been filming everything with plenty of close-ups on the needles. And it all was displayed live on a screen, so that people could see it and become intrigued with what we do. You see, I’m not the kind of tattooist who’s always showing off, or on the ball because others may copy his work. After all, I spent thirteen years of my life working in construction sites, painting walls and having lunch with bricklayers, electricians and plumbers. I’m very down-to-earth.”
