Screwed on: JC Sheitan Tenet tattooed with a left or worn prosthetic arm.
Too bad about the amputated forearm. The little Frenchman will not let his dream job be taken away from him. JC Sheitan does everything with his left hand, even back then when he was ten. And wants to get a tattoo one day. Practice, keep practicing, scribble motifs diligently with the wrong hand. No tattoo studio wants him. Who cares: he gets his own needle. Friends won’t let him do it, JC tries his own luck. For six months, during which time a few buddies change their minds. Well then: Bzzz, wipe off some blood – JC calls himself a tattoo artist from now on. The style is a bit like trash polka, anyone who has ever been to a tattoo convention knows better. The main thing is that it gets under your skin, like the blatant story of his prosthetic arm: JC is the proud owner of the very first tattoo machine in the world, one with a tattoo machine screwed onto it, made from parts of old typewriters and a gramophone. A curious object indeed, with a retro-futuristic look that turns the Frenchman’s work into something quite offbeat. Suddenly, customers feel an irrepressible need for a tattoo chair and scream wildly for the Terminator Tattooer. He only shades with a prosthesis – he does everything else with his left hand.
