This weekend, I had a great meeting with Oscar Lucero Oliva and came away with two new tattoos. We share a mutual friend, which led to this exciting encounter. I helped Oscar with a film project at Jogersö in the morning, and after lunch, the focus shifted to tattoos at Oscar's home studio in Oxelösund.
Between 2017 and 2019, I had a period where I visited Leipzig, Germany, to get tattooed. Now, about four years later, it was time again for two small fillers on my nearly complete left arm sleeve. I chose a Yin Yang symbol and a snake in the infinity symbol—two symbols that hold deep meaning for me. I also created a short film from the experience. The paintings and prints shown in the film were created by Oscar.
I feel at my best when I can create films while experiencing something. Everything flows smoothly, and the result usually exceeds my expectations.
