MARISA DIMATTIA: Daniel DiMattia vs. Marisa DiMattia

Belgium's Daniel DiMattia, ower of Calypso Tattoo, is known for creating massive works of art on skin in just black ink. He's also known for leaving his socks on the floor, belching in front of my mother, and being a fine dancer.

Living with the blackwork specialist is not just all free pretty tattoos. He's brutally honest and will tell me, yes, I do look fat in that dress. That honesty is put to the test today as I ask him questions for SG that many tattooers won't go near.

nice work + fun feature

what a fun interview. thanks!

I loved this interview. Well-written and engaging-in-a-pleasantly-voyeuristic-way.

And I've never respected tribal tattoos so much. Thank you both!

Aww, you two are so cute together!

P.S. I totally just your husband's balls.

This was fabulous. I wish there was a DiMattia sitcom.

Awesome interview!

Marisa, Il va falloir que tu pratiques ton Francais un peu... Hein!

hehe.. Good fun.
I liked the people hanging out at Dan´s shop a lot. They even gave me cigarettes when I started smoking on the second day

And the trust thing is extremely important. That´s why I chose Dan to cover up some crap that member #17 of the Australian Ku Klux Klan had done on me years ago. I didn´t even know he was the KKK until I saw the diploma on the wall, and by then he had the ink in my arm.

Great interview.....very fun read

It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
