Sylvian is a Frenchman who runs Instagram, where he posts a photo of his body completely covered in tattoos to the delight of his followers.
He looks like a work of art. What surprises people the most is where he works. It’s not the friendliest place for tattoos.Sylvian, the guy, is a primary school teacher at a Parisian school. Every day, children see him like this.He is also a model in addition to his main job. As a result, Sylvian frequently attends tattoo art exhibitions.Although professionals admire the tattoos on the guy, in ordinary life he does not always have it easy.
My appearance often embarrasses people in public places. What is their first reaction? Their eyes are lowered. They are afraid to even look at me directly.”Sylvian began getting tattoos after two years of teaching in the UK. The guy first tattooed his arm, one leg, and chest.Sylvian continued to tattoo his body even after he moved to France. In the beginning, he hid the tattoo under his clothes out of embarrassment. As soon as the whole body was tattooed, he decided that hiding was pointless.
It is not always a good thing to have a lot of tattoos in Britain, according to the guy. Sylvian feels much more comfortable in France.As a French citizen, I am free to do whatever I want. Everyone I meet at work – colleagues, parents, children – is already used to it. Children very easily accept me for who I am if adults can say something behind my back.”Teacher’s body can be viewed as a picture. Particularly since tattoos on the body matter. I have an old-school rock and roll tattoo on the left side of my body. The right side is Japanese-themed. In general, each tattoo holds a deep meaning for me. Buddha’s arms and legs depict the different stages of his evolution, for example.”
The guy’s Instagram photos attracted a lot of attention.His self-esteem rose as a result of the teacher-model, and the producers began to offer him roles in films of the same type: soldiers, villains, party-goers.Sylvian isn’t against tattoos, but he would like more people to treat those completely or almost completely covered with them better.
