TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Last Friday (March 16) Taiwan News interviewed and photographed a Taiwanese tattoo artist who shared her experience achieving a full body tattoo.
Born Hu Yu-hsin (胡毓欣) in Nantou County, the heart of Taiwan, Hu later took the artistic name Hori Mayi (彫舞, tattoo dance) when she became a tattoo artist.
During middle school, Hori first became interested in tattoos, but because of the conservative society in Taiwan at the time, she did not dare to get one.
When Hori turned 18, she decided she was ready and gifted herself a tattoo of a butterfly on her left shoulder blade. She found that it took about 40 minutes and was not as painful as she thought it would be. [FULL STORY]
