Things & Ink INTERVIEW
“It took a while to technically get comfortable with this style as a tattoo artist, it’s actually quite challenging to do well even though it can look simple. It also took me a while to feel comfortable with creating cultural art within a consumer culture and I’m still finding ways of identifying areas of discomfort and recentre my needs in the interaction.” - excerpt of interview, Ciara Havishya, 2020

MOPOP SEATTLE - BODY OF WORK INTERVIEW
Opening February 1, 2020, Body of Work: Tattoo Culture explores the rich history and modern artistry of tattooing as a dynamic, ever-evolving artform whose mainstream acceptance has been driven by popular culture. The exhibition features large-scale, original works of art created by Northwest-based artists who demonstrate the wide range of styles possible in tattoo art.
One of those artists is Ciara Havishya, a Canadian-born self-taught tattoo creator who got their start in the industry less than four years ago.
