Myra Brodsky is the Grande Dame of the Berlin Tattoo scene – the former owner of The Decay Parlour in Berlin, Germany, and an illustrator whose work is reblogged far and wide.
Strongly influenced by art nouveau, art deco and the Victorian age, the rococo, baroque and renaissance painting movements keep a strong hold on Brodsky’s tattoo style, which is sweet and innocent but met with a kind of darkness. She is part of the new traditional tattoo movement, which brings together old school customs with a new school edge, and new realism, an early 20th century art movement. “Anything from the past has a big influence on my work,” she says.
Myra will be guesting at Seven Doors in east London 15-17 October, when we will be meeting up with her to interview her for the blog… We can’t wait to find out more. Make sure you book in too!
