Some New Zealanders with Indigenous Māori heritage wear tattoos on their face or arms that are culturally sacred. "I just want a little bit of empathy, a little bit more respect," Ms James said. There are calls to change the 30-year-old legislation to stop pubs, bars and restaurants from denying entry to people with face and neck tattoos. Queensland's anti-discrimination laws are currently under review. "A patron has an ability to take a matter to the Queensland Human Rights Commission if they feel they have been personally affected by discrimination."

My dad was a great artist too and I remember being in preschool and seeing him coming to the fence to bring me all kinds of drawings of comics and cartoons characters for me to copy in class. Probably though I’d say that I’m best known for my “girls heads” and my black and gray neo-traditional tattoos.ĭo you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?ĭefinitely, my connection with drawing and art in general since I was little. Personally, I’ve never developed a specific style, but I’ve always tried to satisfy my customers using clean lines, smooth shading and solid colors. It’s a great tattoo shop with a great group of artists that’s able to satisfy pretty much all type of “tattoo needs”. I’ve been part of the honorable society since the opening in 2009. Please tell us about The Honorable Society Tattoo Parlor. That was a big obstacle in communicating with customers when they’re trying to share their ideas or when you have to explain yourself in regard to certain technical and creative processes I came here without really knowing the language. Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome? I worked in New York City for a year, in 2003 I moved to Los Angeles California, where I was given the opportunity to work for the legendary Bob Roberts at Spotlight Tattoo, alongside other great artists. After participating in a few Tattoo Conventions, Art shows, and working in a couple of Tattoo shops around Italy, I felt the need to travel to America to learn more about the art of Tattooing. In 2002 I graduated from the Academy of Art in Florence. From 1998 to 2002, I worked for Maurizio Fiorini, the Italian Tattoo Master or Il Maestro as he is known Maurizio is the oldest living Italian Tattoo Artist. I built my first tattoo gun out of an old Walkman, a toothbrush, and a pen.
My first encounter with tattooing came while I was in the Italian Army. I was born and raised in Florence, Italy. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there. Thanks for sharing your story with us Marco. Today we’d like to introduce you to Marco Cerretelli.
