Coming from a family where drawing was very important - not as a profession but as a passion - La Barbe took up art at an early age. During school he was able to develop his skill further and enjoyed drawing even more as a result.

Eventually this lead to him tattooing, his first tattoo was as a 23 year old apprentice on one of his friends, it was of one of his (now) signature bottles, and the rest is history!

“Anything I can put in a vial will become my favourite tattoo”

Pop culture, video games, comics and films are La Barbe's biggest inspirations. His favourite thing about tattooing is that he can do something that he is passionate about for a living - that, and that people want to wear his art on their bodies for a lifetime!
