Yōso, tattoo house
On this sunny May afternoon, the light shines on Yōso's storefront - a rare sight to be noted.Both in the capital and elsewhere, tattoo parlors are often dark, rock-themed, and noisy. Caroline and Yoshika, experienced tattoo artists, seek calm and serenity for both themselves and their clients. For the past 8 years, their salon in the 19th arrondissement has upheld these principles: talent, professionalism, listening, mutual support, and kindness. The focus is on creating a comfortable and satisfying experience for everyone involved. Clients are always warmly welcomed, starting with a first appointment with the artist whose style matches their preferences, to get to know each other and discuss tastes and desires. The designs are exclusively original creations, fostering a stronger connection between the artist and the client and resulting in a truly unique tattoo. The actual tattooing session takes place in one of the shop's private booths or its neighboring sister shop, Shimai, ensuring privacy and tranquility. In short, it's a place where you feel at ease.
Located in the heart of Le Marais in a former art gallery with a spectacular decor, Aenima is first and foremost a premium piercing destination that embraces a vision of responsible luxury and ethics. Here, you will find the largest selection of jewelry pieces dedicated to piercing in France. But the shop also has a large basement area dedicated to tattooing. You can meet 4 talented artists here: Asmodée with his gothic and etching style designs, Noémie who practices vegan therapeutic tattooing with manga-inspired motifs, and finally Julien and Jordan, who specialize in traditional and old school tattoos.
Good day! I have here a very interesting post from Instagram that I want to share with you. It's a cute little snippet of code that represents an Instagram media block. Isn't that fun? Let's take a look at it together!
Wow! This is super cool, right? The code is filled with lots of div tags that make it look really nice and neat. I'm loving the different background colors and the rounded corners on some of the elements. It's all about the details, my friend!
