Description
<p>Myriam Black is known for tattoos that feel like they’re pulled straight out of another era: ultra-fine linework with little to no shading, inspired by engravings and copperplate prints from the 16th to 18th century. In this new episode, she talks to Seb about how she developed that look, why historical context is more than just “nice aesthetics,” and how much research actually sits behind what some people might call “just a few lines” — from digging through digitized museum archives (the British Museum, Rijksmuseum, and more) to getting lost in endless online image rabbit holes.</p><p>Beyond style and technique, she opens up about her path between Spain, Germany, and England, the feeling of never being “100%” rooted in one place, and how that shapes the way she works. And because it’s TFTN, things get delightfully nerdy for a moment: pyramids, ancient structures, UFO thoughts — a quick detour into the rabbit hole before coming back to real tattoo life, including conventions, hygiene, regulations, and the question of how much “standardization” this industry actually needs.</p><p><br></p><p>[ ADVERTISEMENT ]<br>With our sponsors you can save a lot — including Neonsfeer, Murostar, Killer Ink, Cheyenne Tattoo Equipment, CoalBlack, and Caos Nero!
