11. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Elvis Sossa, Bolivian Tattoo Artist:
"My story began at the 2009 Tattoo Show (Argentina). I came to Buenos Aires to work in construction, and I discovered the convention. I realised tattooing was an art form, but my family was very closed-minded about it. I started learning here in Buenos Aires, found people to teach me, and after a long time, I returned to Bolivia to open my own shop and organise conventions. I always come back to Buenos Aires because this is where my career started."

"The more women you see tattooing, the more women are encouraged to follow this path. They see it as a welcoming profession and a great opportunity for artists. Today, many tattoo artists come from a fine arts background because it offers a real career opportunity. If you commit fully, you can make a living from tattooing. But if you treat it as a hobby, it won’t work. Dedication is key. And the girls every day are encouraged to do more."

24. Various of Agah Osturk drawing potential tattoo designs
