ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

Freedom Tattoo Hong Kong was established in the year 2000, a 4,000sq ft. tattoo studio with its name originating from a quote by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sarte – Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you. Founder Gabe Shum has dedicated much of himself to nurturing and developing the local tattoo scene, especially in changing the general public’s negative connotations towards the industry. In 2013, Freedom Tattoo organized Hong Kong’s first-ever three-day international tattoo convention featuring over 100 international tattooists including the renowned Robert Hernandez and Shigenori Iwasaki. Thanks to its overwhelming success, it not only enabled Hong Kong tattoo culture to lay foot on the global tattoo-map but has also since then made the convention an important annual event.
