In the world of tattooing, where every stroke is a story and every needle an instrument of art, there are masters whose hands have seen it all: from the first sketches to the boldest experiments. One such master is Lal Hardy, a London-based tattoo artist with 47 years of experience, who has tattooed over 100 professional footballers in his career. Among his clients are stars like Jermain Defoe, Kyle Walker, Benoît Assou-Ekotto, and Jermaine Jenas. But today, he’s not talking about fame or success, but about what he believes has been a real blow to the industry – mobile phones.
