Behind the Craft: Guy Le Tatooer

One canvas, infinite perspectives. Reflections is the series that explores the space where craft and memory intersect. We invite global artists and collaborators to explore their own story upon our shared canvas, where each piece turns into a reflection of their inner world. Our first chapter with Guy Le Tatooer and creative tattoo collective Loco Mosquito is a study in precision and memory. A collection that reflects the artist’s world through intricate detailing and deliberate craft.

Behind the Craft: Guy Le Tatooer

Guy Le Tatooer is the french, LA-based tattoo artist with a career spanning over 20 years, known for his intricate, illustrative body of work. His signature motifs find inspiration in traditional folk art, mythical symbolism, and iconography; reflecting on the stories and personal encounters with different cultures across his years of travelling the globe.

The vibrant energy in Guy’s tattoo’s reflects the unique personality of the wearer; allowing each individual story to shine through. Apart from the human body, Guy is extending his artistic vision to larger mediums such as murals and skate bowls.

In the Reflections collection, Guy’s creative vision is etched into Tom Wood silhouettes, transforming personal memories into a shared canvas: a reflection made permanent.

Different crafts, one shared canvas

The collection serves as a testament to the ritual of craftsmanship: a rare intersection where illustrative ink and solid, precious metal are forged into one. The result is a tactile dialogue between two ancient traditions; the beauty of sketch and the industrial permanence of metal: a reflection of the artist’s skill and the wearer’s story.

Stories in Ink

Guy’s symbolic motifs are etched into our silhouettes through the art of antiquing. A traditional colouring method where paint is dripped into the engraved or carved out piece of jewellery. The excess colour is wiped off, revealing a deep, black hue in the crevice: translating the process of inking the skin.
