interview with Jumilla Olivares

 Hello Jumilla Olivares! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview. Please start by telling us something about yourself, how it all started? I started in 2010. I really liked to draw with pencil and decided to start "transferring" my designs on people's skin. It was not very difficult to understand that it is a long process, but the most important thing is to have predispositions and a lot of patience.

Q: You have a very interesting style. How would you define it?
A: Thank you very much, it is a pleasure to hear that people love my work. My style would define as exaggerated reality with great intensity, prominence to the visual.

Q: Have you ever tried something different than the style you are known for?
A: I practice other techniques, like painting and charcoal, from there I nourish, to pass it to each tattoo.

Q: Big tattoos like sleeves and backpieces can take 4-5 sessions to complete or maybe even more, depending of the complexly of the design, but when it's all done, it is worth it. Are these types of tattoos a big challenge (not just time & energy consuming) but at the same time a great way to really show off your skills?
A: The big tattoos, require a lot of effort and it can take up to 10 sessions to complete. The reason for doing these tattoos is that they are more eye-catching and people see them, they attract many new clients, who surprised by the visual, decide to get a tattoo.

 
Q: What do you like the most about being a tattoo artist?
A: What I like most about my work is that everything depends on me. Where I want to go, what I do, how I do it, how I want to plan my career... everything depends on me, to summarize it, this profession helps you to be yourself, there are also some negative things as in all professions, one of them is man's great enemy, egocentrism.

Q: Any advice for the new artists?
A; I would tell them to not waste the opportunity to be unique, don't imitate anybody, to just get involved in.
