Featured Tattoo Artist | Astrid Elisabeth
Name: Astrid
Age: 28
Location: New York City
How did you get into the industry? Was it hard to find an apprenticeship?
I did not have an apprenticeship. I met a stranger at a bar one night. He was an apprentice and had been practicing on his legs during his free time with the machine he’d bought online. It was like a big cartoon light bulb went off over my head.
I started out with the intention to just tattoo myself — it only took a week or so for brave (and maybe a little bit reckless) friends to offer up their skin. They liked my drawings, so they didn’t really care about the quality. I’m lucky. I also have regrets.
How long have you been tattooing?
Two and a half years now. Six months of which I was probably doing one tattoo a week in between my full time job as a coffee shop manager. One year in which I actually felt confident in what I was doing.
What inspires you?
Most of my pieces are collaborative with my clients. They usually provide me with emotions, sometimes poems, sometimes twenty paragraph essays about their lives. Then it’s my job to make something visual out of their content. Most of the tattoos are memorial pieces or revolve around recovering from trauma.
Who are your favourite tattoo artists?
I can’t answer this. I have at least 20 favorite tattoo artists.
How would you describe your tattoo style?
Extreme feelings, with a little bit of razzle dazzle.
If you weren't tattooing what would you be doing?
I write music. I’m a classically trained cellist and I play guitar and piano. It’s not lucrative at all, so I’d probably still be making lattes for angry businessmen in Manhattan.
What advice do you have to people considering careers in tattooing?
Be an artist first. While I’m glad to see the frat house of traditional tattooing get cleaned out, I’m equally wary of people getting into tattooing because they want to appear cool on the Internet. I see new home artists pop up all the time and I can immediately tell whose style they’re trying to recreate. If you’re not creating original content that comes from your soul, what the fuck are you doing?
What are some of the best things you have experienced as a result of your career?
My relationships with clients. I’ve heard the most amazing stories, I’ve been gifted with incredible vulnerability and trust. I’ve held people’s hands as they cried, and I’ve gone home and cried myself. Tattooing is a whole lot more than just putting an image on someone’s body. Artists who don’t want to take on the (sometimes exhausting yet extremely rewarding) emotional aspect shouldn’t be in the industry.
Where do you currently tattoo?
I’m all over the place, but I hope to be opening a private studio in Brooklyn soon!

REPACKAGED REISSUE // CHOIR BOY'S DEBUT ALBUM "PASSIVE WITH DESIRE"
CHOIR BOY : PASSIVE WITH DESIRE LP / CD / Digital (DAIS117)
Since his recording debut as Choir Boy in 2016, Adam Klopp mined a sound swirls 1980s synth noir with captivating, cinematic songs sweeping with pensive sorrow and glowing hope. As a former member of the Mormon faith, Klopp spent his youth both in the pews of his place of worship, but also churning through DIY punk venues, before leaving the sect in the thick of a mission in Tahiti.
The duality of faith and fiction are central to the lush explorations on his debut album Passive With Desire. Recorded at Studio Studio Dada, the album’s tracks permuted as bedroom sketches, awash with camp, the sting of loss, and allusions to halcyon days of nocturnal, electronic driven pop. Retaining elements of Klopp’s original demos, Passive With Desire was recorded with a full band and polished with trumpet, strings, as well as archival samples calling back to Klopp’s hazy youth.
Engineered by Klopp, Bret Meisenbach, and Stephen Cope, Passive With Desire is the entry point to Choir Boy’s world of emotive wit, novella kissed lyricism, and bouncy, synth-forward takes on traditional song writing bound by the universal themes of loss, desire, evolution, and exploration.
Now available in wide release, Passive With Desire is a proper introduction to Choir Boy’s unique brand of storytelling, orated by Adam Klopp’s full, rangeful vocals.
The expanded deluxe CD edition comes with a 12-page lyric booklet, and combines the album Passive With Desire with seven bonus tracks, including the Sunday Light 7’’ single and live studio session tracks from the limited edition Part Time Punks cassette.
The vinyl edition comes in a sturdy matte jacket with matte Eurosleeve insert and lyrics.on limited vinyl colorways of Clear/Black/Red Splatter vinyl (100 copies), Metallic Red vinyl (400 copies), and standard Black vinyl.
FALLOW X LYLEU COLLABORATION
The creative minds behind Fallow and Lyleu have conceived an extension on the coveted Cinis ring design to create ‘FAVILLA’. The term means ‘light, glowing ashes’ and the collaborative offering presents a world first – a ring that doubles as an incense holder complete with a solid sterling silver tray to collect the gathering ash. Crafted using recycled silver and finished with a unique oxidization process the ‘FAVILLA’ is an esoteric treasure for all lovers of ritual.
