IT's Tide Brand 5cm 2017 Summer Series: Within a short 5cm distance between skin and soul

Chochukmo Hong Kong Indie Rock Band

"Our tattoos seem to be inconsistent. In fact, they are very consistent."

The "Chochukmo" group includes lead singer Jan, guitar and keyboard player Mike, guitarist Lester, bass guitarist Fai and drummer Kit. Not all of them actually have tattoos for every member. Lead singer Jan, drummer Kit and guitarist Lester had tattoos on three of them. The other two, Fai and Mike, had no tattoos.

Five musicians come together and have five different attitudes towards tattoos:

Mike and keyboard player Mike: "In fact, there is no tattoo like a character. No tattoo can be very stylish."

Bass guitarist Fai: "There is no kind of inspiration at the moment. It is worth me to go tattooing. If there is any, I will go to tattoo."

Lead singer Jan: "Most of the tattoos on the body are meaningful and they are my own designs. The most important and most significant is the whale on the arm. One is Lester's help, and the second is to commemorate my late boss. Gary's pattern, he has been thinking about patterns in the world, but because of problems with his skin, he can't be tattooed. So after he passed away, I hope he can complete his wish and put the whales on his arms."

Guitarist Lester: "Actually, my tattoos are just as important as Jan. If you want to choose the one that makes the most sense, I believe it is the two most important things on the neck and on the back of the hand. When a general interview, when you find your neck or I have tattoos on my hands and I will look at you with a color vision. I have tattooed these two places in particular and I want to tell everyone that even if I tattoo in the most prominent place, I can find my own suitable job. People look."

Drummer Kit: "Tattoos are because I believe in the artistry of tattoo artists. I think tattoos are an art, and tattoo artists are the key to this art. After tattooing, every ingenuity of the tattoo artist is beyond the meaning of the tattoo itself." You can also see it inside the tattoo."

Although five people have five different opinions on tattoos, their views on tattoos are very consistent.

Tattooing and playing music are very similar. When playing music, we pay attention to Mood or every detail. In fact, tattoos bring out the personal taste and details of the description; music is from the sound to the soul, and the tattoo is brought from the visual sense to the heart. Another interpretation of the skin. In fact, it is exactly the same as fashion. It is necessary to wear it uniquely to express itself.

Kidman video creator

"Leopard represents courage, roses represent love, and I have 17 tattoos on my body..."

There are a total of 17 tattoos on Kidman, each representing a different meaning.

"I like to surf, so the red side represents waves. In addition, leopards represent courage, roses represent love, and my birth time is made up of loose feathers that represent the beginning of my life. Every time there is any frustration or when life is realized, I will encourage myself with a tattoo and let myself remember every metaphor.

I think the tattoo and the trend are the same. Everyone wants to bring out self from tattoos or costumes. In the face of the world, many people want to stand out from their clothes. Every piece of clothing and trousers is worn to show its individuality. Just like a tattoo, it also brings out self and does not follow the flow. ”

YY Makeup Artist

"Tattoos represent my hope for life."

"I'm sorry! I don't follow blindly! It's just because I learned to love. The patterns on my body buries every one of my stories."

At the age of 16, she became acquainted with the first boyfriend and was deeply loved and hurt. Her boyfriend loves tattooing, and also lets YY follow her boyfriend with the same tattoo.

"At that time, there was no unique choice for tattoos. Boyfriends did not like my tattoos. Every time I quarreled, I would tattoo a tattoo like him."

"We later broke up."

The most painful part of breaking up is that you are sculpting each story with him on the skin, and each time you see there is a kind of inexplicable pain. Then YY decided to wash them all away.

"It's very painful to wash your tattoos. It may be because of the deep wounds. Therefore, the pain on the skin, together with the pain in the heart, is more painful than washing a child."

Washing off the tattoo is a relief for YY. In the past, the goal of the tattoo was only to follow or express anger. Today, she tattoos again and hopes to show beautiful things and stories on the skin. Every person she encounters has “hope” for everything and writes a new one with “love”, which is her new purpose of tattooing.

“I think that tattoos and trends are relative. Some people want to blindly follow the trend to choose clothes. As a result, they dress like a mold and do not have their own personality. For this era of ready-to-wear fashion culture, we must highlight ourselves and we must know how to choose. There is a personality brand."

"I think I can best express my unique personality today."

Off-the-shoulder shirts bring out the charming feminine side of the girls, with strapless denim skirts with tattered detailing, adding a sculptural element that is soft and soft.

Jennifer's arm is tattooed on the arm, because the choice is not to follow an ordinary style line, but to be cute and colorful, representing her mother's love for two children.

"In fact, there are tattoos in many parts of the body. The most significant thing is the cartoon tattoo on my arm."

"I hope to put the children's names on behalf of their personality traits. All of them are tattooed on the body. Let me remember them all the time. The children will grow up and there will be no such innocence after childhood. This stage is very long from children to adults. Memories will slowly turn into memories, and at this stage, I chose to put their most precious tattooed arms, in addition to I love them, and also love tattoos, so that their childhood will always stay on my arm. The greatest motivation for life."

“Tattoos and trends will be over, but the moment you put on or emboss the feelings is really the most important, so I think that regardless of tattoos or trends, it is a kind of representative. My choice represents the mother's love, also It means that I love trends and tattoos: this is a personality or a self-determining presence feeling."

At that time, in order to cover his tattoos with his clothes, his father could not find them, and he only dared to be tattooed on the thighs.

GabeShum continued to say with a sigh and said: "It is not just memorable to help people with tattoos in the hospital. What is more important is the story of this person. The hero of the story is the big brother of a big family. Unfortunately, the brothers and sisters differ in their opinions on the distribution of their own family, making the relationship slower. He later discovered that he had cancer and saw that the family relationship had been fragmented, so he hoped to bring out the concept of the family from the tattoo, and the word "home" would once again draw the hearts of family members. His brother came to me to complete the whole family's wish.

In the end, except for the master, the word "home" was used, and other family members followed the pattern. Later he left Hong Kong to fly home and died on the way home, but he finally managed to unite this "home" wish. ”

As a tattoo artist walking on the forefront, Gabe Shum has tattooed many people for many years.

Chen Boyu Hong Kong singer

"Tattoo is a mark of growth."

The tattoo behind Chen Boyu is a mark of growth for him. At the age of 18, the first tattoo was drawn. At that time, I didn't think about the pattern, the story, or the motivation.

"To be honest, there is actually no motivation. After reaching a certain age, I think it is time to put a mark of growth on the body so that we can go tattooing resolutely."

"If I want to say the meaning of a tattoo, it means that the significance of my tattooing will be more correct."

"Be Reasonable Demand theImpossible"

Yukk, the chief designer of more than 20 tattoos, does not have a story behind each tattoo. Instead, one of the tattoos reads the name “Be Reasonable Demand the Impossible” and becomes the most meaningful tattoo on Yukk.

"In the eyes of many people, many things cannot be done, and then they choose to give up, and they waste a lot of time and energy. They end up not seeing the results and then leave the scene. Everything sees only the most superficial layer and the innermost is the most brilliant. If you haven’t experienced it, you will give up because of little difficulties.” The meaning of “Be Reasonable Demand the Impossible” is revealed: even if it seems impossible, as long as you have reason to believe that it may happen, you may wish to try it. My spirit of doing things reminds me all the time."

Trends, clothing and tattoos have different perspectives on the chief designer Yukk. Regardless of trends, clothing, and tattoos, the three must understand each other to show their individuality. "It's like the pair of flowers on my arm. Usually when I wear clothes, I fold my sleeves and make the tattoos and clothes. It's very cool and self-personal.
