My first tattoo was a blue orchid in the lower back; I got it when I was 17 years old: a big mistake. I was too young and I didn’t really think about it, I just knew that I wanted to get tattooed, so my impulsiveness won on my reflection!


Luckily, Fred, the tattoo artist who has worked the most on my skin, found the way to cover this flower with two cute kitties!


Three years after my first tat- too, I decided that my body will be a tribute to the black cat because I had a black cat that was perfection, so pure, so lovely, he changed the way I view cats. So, in all my tattoos I include a black cat, it’s the main piece. Then, I add something more, something that I love.


On my arms and chest, there are black cats and cherry blossom (and Japanese flowers), Japanese fans, maneki neko, because I’m a lover of Japan. I love the culture and I love the story of this country.
