Tattoo Cover Season 10, produced by Coyote Production

Tattoo Cover

Broadcast on TFX, Thursdays at 9:10 pm (French time).

Tattoo Cover returns with new features, bringing leading tattoo artists to its shop in central Paris to help people who are unhappy with their tattoos. The artists give those who walk through its doors a fresh start.

Three guest artists returning from the previous season complete the team: Charly, with his hyperrealistic black-and-grey style; me, Kira, with my colourful floral work; and Aurel Rondel, with his vividly coloured cartoon style.

In this season, I tattoo Charlotte Gaccio, an actress, singer and director known for her role in Demain nous appartient.

Replay and streaming: TF1+

Tattoo Cover has also been available on Netflix since 2026. Find it on Netflix

Conventions and awards

Best of Colours awards

I have received the Best of Colours award several times for floral pieces.

At the end of each convention day, a jury of tattoo artists presents the Best of awards. Best of Colours recognises a colour piece completed during the event, judged on composition, saturation technique and clean transitions.

Mondial du Tatouage

Guest artist

I am featured on the official Mondial du Tatouage platform in Paris, one of Europe’s leading tattoo events.

Each year, Mondial du Tatouage takes place at the Grande Halle de la Villette. Around 400 artists from across the world are selected. Selection is recognition from fellow artists: the jury considers the quality of the work, its style and the artistic value of the portfolio.

You can see my tattoos on the Mondial du Tatouage website.

Portraits and interviews

Creator of Neo-florealism

I trained in New Zealand and have worked in several countries, including Germany, Switzerland and France.

When I moved to Marseille, I worked at Prisme Tattoo for four years. I then joined Karbone Studio to learn new techniques and find fresh inspiration. When the studio closed, I moved to Workers Tattoo, 71 rue de Lodi, in the 6th arrondissement. Working alongside colleagues who specialise in colour helps me develop my knowledge of traditional techniques every day.

I am known for a style that does not belong to any existing category: neither photorealistic, neo-traditional nor Japanese. That is why I publicly named this language Neo-florealism.

I draw flowers such as peonies, roses, poppies and sunflowers as they grow in nature. My distinctive approach combines coloured outlines, pastel tones and strong contrast. I always adapt my work to the wearer’s skin tone to help it age well.
