Jacques Shoeman
from Dark Side Tattoo Collective
What first attracted you to the tattoo industry?
I’ve always loved drawing and being creative. As a teenager, I remember watching shows like Miami Ink and Ink Master, which introduced me to the art of tattooing. I got my first tattoo at the age of 15, and since then, my love for the tattoo industry just grew.
What style of tattoo do you enjoy creating the most and why?
I really enjoy doing black and grey realism stuff, especially portraits. They are normally really challenging, and I think that’s why I like doing them so much.
How do you like to make sure you keep progressing as an artist?
I have a lot of artists that I look up to and try and learn from. I like to try out new things all the time and learn from them. I think that’s the most important thing, to never stop learning.
