In the world of modern tattooing, Lyon has long established itself as one of the main European centers where ancient architecture and conservative French chic meet the bold avant-garde of subcutaneous painting. It is here, within the walls of the renowned “681 Tattoos Shop” studio, that Matilda Ekaterina works – a woman whose presence in the industry goes far beyond ordinary administration. She is not just a manager; she is a living embodiment of how tattoos can become a tool for personal transformation and artistic healing. Her journey from a quiet life in an Alpine village to becoming an icon of the Lyon tattoo scene is a story of seeking inner harmony through pain, aesthetics, and ink.
