In January, in the middle of men's fashion week, at the end of rue des Gravilliers, we see Baba and Mamadou. They wear the habit with majesty.

The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
