This episode is part of the OFF THE WALL project, a new art project within the tattoo community to celebrate the flash as foundation of traditional tattooing, while raising money for those families affected by the war in Ukraine. In this series of short interviews we ask our guests a little bit about tattoo history and the origin of the flash, what it means for them and how to make the best use of it today. We sat down with Lal Hardy, British tattoo legend, and Dr. Ole Wittmann, tattoo historian. In these chats you will find a great deal of information on english and German tattooing, insightful views on the relationship tattooer-artwork-customer and more. A special thanks to tattoo museums and private collectors for providing vintage flashes for the project, in particular: Dana Brunson Paul Ramsbottom(Rambo) Derin Bray Lal Hardy Dr. Ole Wittmann Andreas Coenen Jason Brooks Gabriele Donnini Ahren Bloomquist Find Lal on Instagram Find Ole on Instagram More info on current and previous projects on @stef_bastian_presents and stefbastian.com
