Travelin’ Mick is a photographer and journalist, who has been relentlessly roaming the world in search of the last remaining tattoo cultures of this planet to record and thus conserve them for posterity.

It is his distinctive goal to promote the understanding of the importance of tattooing to the history and culture of mankind and as a veritable form of art.

Tattoos have been an integral part of the shaping of identities of societies and individuals throughout our history over thousands of years as well as a possibility to express our individuality and creativity.

Thorough research is meant to find out more about the relation of mankind and its societies with body art.

By visiting and documenting the last remaining traditional tattooing practices on all continents, he tries to preserve those cultures and show them to the world in images that express the beauty and pride of ethnic groups and traditional communities, who still bear the marks of their people.

]]> http://sangbleu.com/2012/01/11/eyeballing/feed/ 0 So basically, Miami http://sangbleu.com/2011/12/20/so-basically-miami/ http://sangbleu.com/2011/12/20/so-basically-miami/#comments Tue, 20 Dec 2011 22:23:28 +0000 Maxime Buchi http://sangbleu.com/?p=25755 This is the (almost) first post of a series on and about my visit to the Miami Art Basel fair. It took me a while to process all the images but even more time to process the experience to tell the truth. Do not expect a very coherent report, but more like a series of impressions. First of all I wish to thank the people I hung out with and who basically made this stay so f****n awesome. Among others and in no particular order: Dani Smith, Harif Guzman, Chad Muska, Angel, Lauren Devine, Mike Nouveau, Ashley, Nicole, Valissa, Adrienne, Mira, Adrien Sauvage, Jessica Silverman, Franklin, Fabiola Beracase, Hannah Warner, Jack Dononghue and obviously, the usual Liam Sparkes and Danny Fox.

Now let me start with an overall impression and I’ll get more specific as I keep posting: I arrived on the Wednesday. Went directly to the Salem show at the Delano (Hosted by the Hole). Caught up with Fabiola (first and last time I saw her of the week!), watched the show, then went to see Harif and Dani at the Soho house. I slept in a derelict room of the Shelborn Hotel and still made it to the fair on the next day though. Liam and Danny had not arrived yet. I saw a lot of very beautiful things things and basically from there onwards, everything is a big misty chaos of memories.

They can be inspiring, impressive, genius, but for many reasons, some good, they often conceal their emotions and weaknesses. I don’t personally know Freddie, but this time around, I have been deeply touched by the blend of modesty, charism and honesty of this man. An other person I felt like this about might be Theo Jak. But that is another story. The last episode of Tattoo-Age is about Freddie. Check this out.
