My name is Julien, 26 yo and I come from Nantes in France. I'm a tattoo artist and painter. I'm also working on a magazine about contemporary arts and technics. I like to collect artworks. I'm friendly, open-minded and discreet. In Nantes I work in a art space that we create with friends. And we have got an art gallery.

I generally travel for my work. Must of the time I'm in a city for 3-4 days to tattoo on a studio which invited me. I worked in Paris, Rennes, Montpellier, Lille, London, Oxford, Berlin, Leipzig, Bruxelles and I plan to go to Zurich and Amsterdam on November and December.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A nice way to meet people and discover other city / country. Couchsurfing promote exchange with others. My job can make me trip around the world. So I take my bag and go on the way ! Tattoo artist life isn't cost-effective for the moment to me. That's why I use couchsurfing. An easy way to help people who want to visit or live for some days in a city. For sure, I would love to trade your sofa for a few nights with a free tattoo or a painting.

Interests

I talk a lot about art. I really love outsider art and folk art. But it's not my only center of interest, fortunately !

Music, Movies, and Books

From jazz to french rap. From Documentary about History and Sciences to the The Big Lebowski. Also La Planète Sauvage by René Laloux and Roland Topor. I like little cinema place which films of low budget. Reading books that I chose by chance on a library.
