I had the idea of getting tattooed in Peru, more precisely in Cusco, because they seemed to have good tattoo artists here. I went to Mistical Tattoo, and I met Christian, a peruvian tattoo artist, married to a Canadian lady. Children of the Globalisation...
I asked him for a design, inspired from Chavin culture (yeah, those who do San Pedro!!), because this is what I preferred in all I've seen. He did a drawing very quickly and a few days later, he tattooed me.
I tried to stay cool for the 3 hours of work...
In two hours, the lines were done.
The Chavin adored, among others, the snake, the jaguar and the hawk. This drawing represents a chimera made out of these different animals.
Then, Christian added shadows. It doesn't look great on the picture but in reality, it looks good!
And in the context of the Andes, it looks like this!
I'm gonna keep doing tattoos on my back, I think I'm gonna do one for each inhabited continent I will have explored.
