Rodin is an occitan multitask artist from Marseille. Rodin has been singing in a polyphonic band since he was 11 years old. He has been touring around the world. He writes and composes music, draws birds and clothes, shoots videos and writes poetry. He has got a complex vision of tattoo, but a great way to describe his mind and the relatioship between himself and his tattoos : he has tattoos to hide himself in beauty … Very romantic!
During the time I spent with Rodin, I’ve learned a lot about the notion of protection that tattoos might have. Tattoos help him to become himself. He feels protected by the mere fact that these drawings will hide and protect himself from the eyes of curious people. Rodin feels close to humble and straightforward people who don’t lie to themselves or the others.
