I have a series of tattoo interviews to post over the next while, starting with a local tattoo artist whose studio is actually just down the street from the BME offices, Farizio Divari (divariart.com). I was interested in talking to Fabrizio because his artwork was clearly from a fine art background, with many of his tattoos being evolutions of his cubist paintings. Click through for the interview, and of course come back here to comment.

I love reading interviews like these because, not being particularly interested in being part of the ‘scene’ (such as it is), I don’t know any names in particular. It’s nice to find out about new people 🙂
What percentage of tattoo artists have formal fine arts training, would you guess?

I would love for him to tattoo me someday, gorgeous art both on skin and canvas. I think that’s the best interview posted since the post gender one. Awesome 😀

Hey Dustin @ #3: I’m terribly mortified that you din’t appreciate so much that girl sleeve, but you know sometimes we’re actually told how to proceed by the client. I wish I could do everything that is in my mind at all times but reality kicks in. This is one of these cases. She asked me to finish the piece using that color for background, perhaps I would have chosen a different way but nontheless I am not here to judge or insult what she’s wearing, not I believe should you.
By the way, do some homework and next time you feel the urge to be a smart-ass use the words properly: that is not “negative” space but background, negative space occurs and is created when you use the natural skin color (not pigmented, thus not yellow either..) to integrate a pattern into the composition. Two different things, that’s all.
Cheers man,
Fabrizio.

Fabrizio,
Your art is spectacular. I look at it and am whisked away into a beautiful world of incredible colour usage and imagination. I only hope that I will be able to make it up to Toronto soon to cast a shining light onto your beautifully moving work.
La grazia ha regolato su lei attraverso un regalo e spero che lei continuerà a stenderlo attraverso il mondo.
Ciao.
