LOLA (2010)
Lola's Inspiration: Tattoos
This is the comix story of a young lady who lives at the Caribbean Coast and has a tattoo shop there. She tattoos in a certain way so that her clients don't feel the pain. Her sessions are a sexual act and she satisfies her customers by playing with them. During the act the people tell their life story which is also the reason for having a 'piece'. The books tell about her lifestyle, the stories of her clients, and includes a lot of street art.
The comix are designed in a special way which I invented 1997 and kept on using it 'til now. The text is available in English, German, Spanish and Miskito.

Rudi is another of her customers who first tells the reader his story before he gets laid down by Lola to receive his new back tattoo.
Rudi was a healthy and famous bankerman, 'til he went bankrupt. He pretty much lost everything. But he came up with a new plan...
Unfortunately it didn't work out, and Rudi has to get to know life behind bars...
The prison is not fun. That is something Rudi will find out quickly...
There he witnessed the process of getting a jail tattoo and was fascinated about receiving one, too.
After many years he gets out and knew to get his first real tattoo of freedom...
So, Rudi shows up in her store to get one. Sometimes, Lola has to grab to a few items to help her to prevent pain for her clients. Some positions are hard to deal with, so Rudi played with Lola's toy: a doll.

The fifth and sixth book tells about the story of tattoo.
It starts with the traditional pieces of circus people, especially women.
Marlene is one of them and visits Lola.
Lola's second client Bobby has a typical background and therefore a good reason to get a tattoo.
Ahoi sailor!
Other clients of Lola, like Samo, come in to get traditional symbols. Samo has Polynesian influences in his family and Lola tells history and backgrounds of Polynesian & Marquesan tattoos.
Wu, a friend of Lola, shows up to show her his traditional piece from Vietnam.
Other places, other culture, other motives. Check it out!
At the end, Lola and her friends visit a fire show presented by gyspies in her village.

He loves pin-ups. Here are a few examples:
Other clients of Lola come in like Linda with a tough story.
Or Greg who had a bad surfer accident. He wants a phoenix bird.
The statement of Betty is straight: being ugly is cool... and she's a super model!
Last, but not least: Johnny rocks the store with Lola and in the end at his concert.
Get a taste of it!
