Maison Python, the inclusive tattoo parlour in Paris' 19th arrondissement

Want to transform your skin into a work of art? Located a stone's throw from the Rosa Parks district in the 19th arrondissement, Maison Python is gradually establishing itself as one of the must-visit addresses on the Parisian tattoo scene. Formerly known as Black Blade Tattoo, this artists' studio offers a modern approach to theart of tattooing.

Maison Python is more than just a tattoo parlour to be found in the four corners of Paris. It's a real safe place, founded on strong values: respect, benevolence, excellence, transmission and openness. The place has been designed to break with certain preconceived ideas about the tattoo world, sometimes perceived as archaic, misogynistic or not very inclusive. Whatever your history, gender, skin color or background, you'll be welcomed with a warm, gentle and professional ear, in a safe, non-judgmental environment. And to reinforce this committed approach, their vegan inks are environmentally friendly and not tested on animals.

Founded by MisterMonster, a permanent tattoo artist renowned for his dark and striking mythological creatures, the studio now brings together a dozen creators from a variety of backgrounds. From minimalist elegance to fantastical compositions, each project becomes a unique imprint on the skin: the artists have each developed a particular link with a different technique to imagine indelible works, specific to their image and to the desires of the future tattooed. FromAmor-Roso's tattoos, which bring to life on the skin the works of the great masters of painting and sculpture through the centuries, to Charlotte Adri's tattoos inspired by a medieval world with an almost fairytale touch, or Tofik's subtle realism, where every detail elegantly captures the light, you'll be spoilt for choice from this wide range of styles.
