QUEER TATTOO is an ongoing project where we invite queer tattoo artists to guest tattoo with us at StaDemonia Tattoo Stockholm, expose their art and participate in conversations about art, tattooing and the creation of safer and inspiring spaces. Below you find some of the invited tattoo artists who has been guest working with us over the years and their thoughts on tattooing and art.
Our aim is to highlight tattooing as art form and create space for queer artists and interested to meet and share ideas about art and how we make tattoo/art contexts more inclusive, pleasurable, safe.
