Welcome to the world of the model and tattoo artist Anaïs Chabane, where life shines pink as in her shooting for Tattoo Life, for which she was the cover girl in the latest issue.
I’ve always been really into girly things, pink is obviously my favourite colour and I’m clearly mad about Barbie. I collect vintage Barbies in my wardrobe and it’s something that makes me happy.
I’ve loved Barbie ever since I was a little girl and never lost interest in these dolls.
I find the Barbie universe truly magical and my dream is some day to create a tattooist or tattooed Barbie.
I come from Paris and moved to Los Angeles almost five years ago. I left France for the United States because on my first visit to Los Angeles, back in 2014, I fell in love and so I decided to come and live here.
I also wanted to scale things up a bit: the United States are a great opportunity in artistic terms and I wanted to raise my profile as a tattooist.
Most of the tattoos I have are black though I have some in colour, including one on my legs and right wrist. Most of them are black because I find it more aesthetically pleasing but I actually really like coloured pieces on other people!
I like to make ornamental jewels for the body, it’s the only style I do, and my favourite for over ten years now. What I like about this style is how you can adorn the body with tattoos that look like jewels, my inspiration comes from my travels in India and Marocco…
