Korosif Studio, Paris, France

Tattoed: Wilfried
Artist: Elly
Date: March and May 2005

Elly’s comments: The lizard was made on a gecko base, which
was what Wilfried -the customer- wanted. He is a surfer and
he wanted a tiki for protection and sea symbols (waves, whale...).
The job was done in 2 sessions of 5 hrs (including cigarette breaks).
The first session was in March and the 2nd one was in public during
the Work on Flesh Festival that we organized on May 2005, 21 and 22.
The tail of course was done free hand.
I draw first on paper but part of the tattooing is done free hand
so that the design is perfectly adjusted to the body of the customer.
