T echnically, what I do is called

‘Stippling’ though some

people know it as ‘Pointil-

lism’. It’s a form of art that

simulates varying degrees of shad-

ing in a drawing using small dots of

ink on paper to create the whole im-

age (a picture made of dots).

I never took art at school, so I dis-

covered the technique by accident

while I was still in my twenties when

I was doodling with a pen but never

thought much about it until I came

across a book by New Zealand artist

Rei Hamon and realized it was an ac-

tual art form. Sadly he has passed but

is still my inspiration for not just art in

general but Stippling as a true craft.

Although I did some pieces back

then, there was nothing I would say

that was of any significance or even

still have and 20 years passed until I

started drawing again in 2005. What

you see here then, is basically, my

body of work up to now.

I HOPE YOU CAN

BE INSPIRED IN

YOUR OWN LIFE

TO DO WHAT IT IS

YOU ARE MOST

PASSIONATE

ABOUT BECAUSE

I FEEL VERY

FORTUNATE TO

BE ABLE TO DO

WHAT I TRULY

LOVE.

My name is Roberth Svensson,

I’m 33 years old and I’ve been working as a full time tattoo artist since 2008 at True Skin Tattoo (Sweden), together with

my master and colleague Kenneth Persson. I have always liked to draw and paint and I started up at a early age with my

interest for this. Now and then I try to go back where I started and do some realistic drawings, and not just do this new

school style every time I grip my pen, but I do love colours! I have never done a painting or drawing without music in my

ears, not even when I tattoo people, and it’s mostly black metal that inspires me to do these colourful pieces.

I wouldn’t say that I’m a social person outside the doors of True Skin Tattoo. I usually just go home and do my paintings,

but one needs to put that to rest sometimes, cause without my friends I wouldn’t have come this far.

TL: Tell us about your shop and

where it’s located! A: My shop kicks ass! It is Venom Ink Tattoo

in Sanford Maine. It’s a full custom shop

with no flash on the walls. Instead the walls

are covered with paintings by ourselves

and other friends and tattoo artists. We

have paintings by myself, Chris Chubbuck,

Dan Kelley, Dan Hazelton, Brenne Freeman-

tle, Adam Gordon, Matthew Brown, Brian

Soldano and a bunch of high quality prints

by various tattoo artists.

We have three tattooers, including myself,

and one great piercer, Brett Castner. Chris

Chubbuck is my right hand man and Dan

Kelley is my apprentice/up an coming tat-

tooer. My wife Kelly runs the whole show,

handling everything on the business end of

the studio. We are a well oiled machine and

a great place to come for work.

TL: How did you get into tattoo-

ing and how long have you

been tattooing?

A:My Dad got me interested in tattooing.He was always covered in work and I was

always intrigued by it. He even helped

foot the bill on my very first round of tat-

too equipment and the opening of my

first studio. I started tattooing in 1995 and

opened my first studio in 1996. So about 16

years now I’ve been working hard to make

a name for myself.

TL: Who/What inspires you?

A: My family! My girl and my two awesome

daughters. Other than that I am inspiredby every great tattooer out there. Also any

artist, digital or brush, that blows me away

with great artwork.

TL: Do you dabble in other styles

of artwork besides tattooing and

if so, what?

A: I mess with oil painting occasionally,

though I am pretty new to it and fumble

around blindly. I enjoy painting but only if I’m

doing it for myself and I don’t “have” to paint

Otherwise it just ends up being work to me.

TL: Do you have a particular style

that you enjoy tattooing over

other styles?

A: I guess you could say realism is where

dwell the most. I like doing a painterly and

saturated type of tattooing the most.

TL: What do you enjoy most

about tattooing?

A: The idea that every day I alter someones

life/appearance by putting my art on them

At any point in the year someone is healing

a tattoo they allowed me to put on them

It’s really amazing when you think about it

I really enjoy the end of a piece when you

and your client are sure you really nailed it.

Also, the fact that I go to work and draw on

people for a living on my own terms and

my own hours. It’s the best job in the world

TL: We know you’ve probably

been asked this 1,000 times, butwhat is the worst tattoo you’ve

ever had to do?

A:Wow, I really don’t know. There really isn’t

a worst tattoo I’ve ever had to do. There’s

difficult tattoos and things like that but

worst-not sure.

TL: If you had to change your pro-

fession, what would you change

it to:

A: Rich and unemployed. Yacht owner. Mus-cle car builder.

TL: Tell us anything about your-

self and your work that we

haven’t already asked you!

A: I bust ass 6 days a week at this. If you

don’t eat, sleep and breathe this profession

you’ll never get anywhere. A huge shout

out and thank you to Formula 51, Chris 51

and Joshua Southe for allowing me to be a

sponsored artist. They are a great company

and I love being a part of it. I have my own

signature color coming out soon through

them. Very excited for that. Check ‘em out,

you won’t be disappointed.

Also, myself and Rich Pineda are looking

forward to continuing our seminar “The

Quickening”. We held our first one last sum-

mer at the Live Free or Die convention in

New Hampshire and it went really well. Big

plans lined up for that!

Keep in touch with our website-www.ven-

omink.com for convention info. Right now

all I have planned so far is Oregon Ink Show

in April and the Live Free or Die show this

summer.

Tell us little bit about yourself:

I am 34, from brazil, married , and i have 2 beautiful children. I have been

tattooing for over than 12 years and been drawing since I was very

young. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

(Mormon). Some of my principles among others are to not make use of

smoke and alcohol.

What is your background?

I became technician of telecommunications and later went on to the

Army. When I got out of there I started Science of Computers courses

at the University Catolic of Santos. After that I quit on favor of my tattoo

passion. Today I am an art school student in Boston and eventually want

to do animation as well.

What is your favorite style?

I believe realism and color is what I do best, however I love to do tradi-

tional japanese and black & gray as well. Brazilians don’t have very light

skin such as people from the north hemisphere,and as I like to work with

colors I had to develop a technique where I use lots of contrast working

deeper on the shadings and solid colors that make the color tattoo stand

out on even darker skin tones.

I consider myself as a versatile artist and feel comfortable doing pretty

much everything but with my personal touch and style.

Very often, customers come to see me to get tattoo covered up and I

believe I do those very well, however it is not my favorite thing to do. The

last Boston tattoo convention I won a best cover up award of the event,

which was awesome. I am aways trying to push myself to do works that

I like most.

I still like to see tattoos as art on skin and not as a competition.

What are yours influences?

When I was younger I used to play role playing games a lot, such as Dun-

geons & Dragons and Middle Earth. I have great admiration for the paint-

ers that illustrated those medieval fantasy art books. Like Clyde Caldwell,

Jeff Easley Frank Frazetta among others. During that time, way before I

start tattooing, was when I developed my artistic side for drawing.

Even though I didn’t have many resources, I learned enough through a

drawing course that I watched on tv many years ago.

I also really like of the writer J.R.R.TOLKIEN, the descriptions in his booksmake you feel deeply the scenario with a such richness of details that

feels like reality, however it is just an exercise for your imagination.

The same way is the creation of a design, you go get in the deep of your

imagination whatever you can create, then translate that into a form of

drawing on paper or skin. Tolkien did that in the form of words.

How is the tattoo industry in Brazil?

Its better than ever, very talent artists have started to appear more andmore, customers are willing to pay higher prices to get tattoos. Its trendy,

the media says that. Tattoos are the thing there.

Comparing with here I believe that the biggest difference is in the tattoo

supply companies. We don’t have many and the ones that are there have

a kind of monopoly.

It is only allowed there to work with national products with exception

of a very few imports and the prices are ridiculously high. For example a

brazilian 1oz ink bottle cost us about 20 bucks and once you unseal the

bottle you have got to use it for no longer than 3 months and after that

you have to throw it away. Even worse they don’t offer you bigger bottles

because they want to hold you to buying from them frequently.

How do you deal with the religion and the tattoo?

Its not easy at all. Feels like they are in opposite ways, especially in the

option of theirs and their followers. But not for me,I love tattoos I actually

don’t see anything wrong tattooing and I had a great spiritual experi-

ence that shows me Jesus lives and wants me with him, no matter what

people think about it. To deal with that is part of the process.

Right now I am living in Boston, however, I go to Brazil frequently cause I

still own a couple of tattoo shops down there, where I attend to my old

respectful clientele and my brazilian friends.

I am working at The Painted Bird Tattoo in Medford Ma. The shop is justcrazy busy and we have a such nice ego free environment with a huge

brazilian community around the area.

I want to thank all the customers that in one way or another pushed me

to be here, my lovely family that supports me in whatever I do, and God

for showing me who I am, the purpose of my life and where I will go to.
