In this episode of "Face Tattoo Talks," I chat with Eugenia Delphine, a talented scarification artist, about her fascinating journey and unique insights into body modification, including face tattoos, scarification, and body suspension.
Eugenia introduces herself, sharing that she primarily practices scarification but also enjoys other body modification techniques, including piercings and tattooing. She started tattooing around two and a half years ago and has developed a deep passion for it. Eugenia describes her journey into scarification as an organic process driven by her love for the practice, rather than a planned career path.
Without a traditional mentor, Eugenia learned through attending various workshops and conferences like BMX, where she gained knowledge and skills from different artists. She highlights the significant influence of Wade One, who provided valuable support and confidence in her abilities. Eugenia talks about her self-taught journey, emphasizing the importance of continuously learning and soaking up information from various sources.
Eugenia elaborates on the technical and aesthetic differences between working with tattoos and scars. She enjoys the freedom tattoos offer, allowing her to work on almost any part of the body, while scars require careful consideration of the skin's tension lines. This duality in her craft allows her to express herself fully by combining both mediums to create multi-layered body art.
She also delves into body suspension, describing it as a profound and empowering experience that allows individuals to explore their limits and overcome fears. Eugenia finds suspension to be a transformative practice that helps people believe in their own strength. She discusses how body suspension provides a unique, private experience that helps individuals travel to a part of their subconsciousness through pain and challenge their fears.
Discussing her face tattoos, Eugenia shares that her first one was done by Janey while she was living in Berlin. She felt a strong connection with Janey's caring approach and found the experience to be a meaningful ritual.
Living in Berlin, where face tattoos were more common, gave her the courage to express herself fully. Eugenia notes that her face tattoos often receive positive remarks from strangers, adding to her unique expression of self.
Eugenia also mentions other influential figures in her scarification journey, such as Christiane from Pinpoint in Norway and Kevin Jump from Phoenix, Arizona, who are both significant references for her work. She discusses the importance of learning from different artists and how each has contributed to her growth and skill development.
Looking to the future, Eugenia plans to continue evolving her body art, always aiming to push the boundaries of her craft. Her journey is marked by continuous learning, self-expression, and a deep connection to her art.
Eugenia's story is one of passion, resilience, and growth.
From her beginnings in graffiti to her current status as a leading scarification artist, she has always pushed the boundaries of body modification and artistic expression. This episode offers a deep dive into the world of scarification, highlighting the dedication and creativity that drive her work. It’s an inspiring look at how art and body modification can intersect to create powerful, personal narratives.
