Renacer del fuego: la historia de Félix Barrientos y el estudio de tatuaje que se incendió
Dos días antes del incendio, el local de Sailors n’ Mermaids sirvió de locación para una producción de la marca Son of Son. Como todo giraba alrededor...
TL;DR
- Sailors n’ Mermaids, a well-known tattoo studio in Medellín, was destroyed by a gas leak fire on a Saturday night.
- The fire was caused by a gas leak from the oven of an adjacent pizzeria, also owned by Félix Barrientos, the studio's founder.
- While the physical studio and over 20 years of work were lost, Barrientos stated that "nothing was lost" due to the immense solidarity and support received from the community.
- Barrientos, a former industrial design student and current professor, has a history of moving the studio through various locations in Medellín, each representing different phases of his career and the city's tattoo culture.
- The studio is currently operating from a temporary, borrowed space while Barrientos decides on a new permanent location.
- Information on how to help can be found on the studio's Instagram profile: @sailorsnmermaids.
