Contrary to what rumors say, I am not a tattoo artist. I am often asked if I am since I, once in a while, stop by Sebastian's shop to say hello or to get them coffee. And I don't work there, except to confirm appointments and do "the books" for them once a week. But I do consider this shop my second home. I wander in and get to chat (Read: bother) Sebastian and J and whichever clients happen to be getting tattooed that particular day. One of my favorite sounds is hearing the buzz of multiple tattoo machines as I am walking down their block... soothing, meditative, activity, art.
Throughout the day and night, passers by will peek in the window to look at the art and then, as if embarking on an adventure of discovery, slowly make their way inside to take a closer look, ask questions, or just witness tattooing in action.
When I wander in I get see what sort of beautiful images are being tattooed, I get to meet new people or catch up with longtime clients and friends, and I get to see Sebastian do what he loves and do it well.
I am so proud to at least be a wee part of this shop. And I'm proud of Sebastian and J for putting out such incredible art into the world. Otherworld Tattoo = Wanderlust heaven.
