Rouen Tattoo Festival - Best of Show!!!

From April 24th to 26th, we attended the amazing Rouen Tattoo Festival in Normandy, France, which has been held annually since 2022, and we've been there every year. A few months before the event, Alexia contacted Cristopher to request a full back tattoo of a skeleton couple, similar to his watercolor paintings. The tattoo was to be completed over the entire 3 days of the convention.

For both Cristopher and Alexia, it was a long, challenging and painful weekend (Cris felt the backpain too!)! However the result was incredible. Cristopher's efforts, along with Alexia's remarkable endurance and dedication, were acknowledged by the convention jury team with the Best of Show award! 19 beautiful tattoos, started and completed over the weekend, were presented in this competition category , and despite the fierce competition, Cristopher's tattoo earned the top prize.

Check out the process of the tattoo over the weekend:

And the final winning tattoo:

Cristopher was presented with this beautiful award, based on Rouen's iconic Gros-Horloge 14th-century clock:

It's definitely a beautiful new addition to his award collection.
