This time we have spoken about tattoos with Bastian, vocals and front man of the dark electro Band INTENT:OUTTAKE from Leipzig. So enjoy this interview.

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time until you decided to get it done?
Bastian: So, I got my first tattoo with 21 and it was a classic tribal on the arm. After that it had happened to me and months later, I got half of my back beautified. Of course, I already liked tattoos as a teenager, but I thought about it relatively long and I waited for the right tattoo artist / moment.
