All of this happened just a few weeks ago. I'm still super excited and happy, so I plan to keep talking about this tattoo experience and sharing more details. In my first post on the subject [A blackout project: The HIVE tattoo](https://peakd.com/hive-131665/@ninaeatshere/a-blackout-project-the-hive-tattoo-engesp), I talked about my feelings, impressions, and expectations from a more personal point of view, along with all the excitement I felt after having gone through all that so recently. However, there are other details that are just as important that I don't want to overlook and that I want to share now, along with the video that shows the tattooing process, which I finally finished editing, haha. In the video, besides watching the artist's creative process and execution, we can begin to learn a little bit about her, something I would like to explore further in the following sessions because I think it is very important to highlight the person behind the work. Josabeth talks to us about her presence on social media and her former anonymity, which led some clients to believe she was a man before meeting her in person to get a tattoo, highlighting the stigma that existed around women in the tattoo world. We also talk a little about music and have a few laughs along the way. I hope you enjoy the video and that it will be useful for anyone interested in learning more about blackouts. As far as I can tell, there are no vlogs talking about this on Hive, so I would like to provide all the relevant information through the videos I will be recording in the upcoming sessions. If anyone has any questions, please share them with me so we can discuss them in future episodes.

> Pocas semanas atrás sucedió todo esto. Yo sigo súper entusiasmada y contenta, así que pienso seguir hablando y detallando las la experiencia sobre este tatuaje.
En mi primer post al respeto [A blackout project: The HIVE tattoo](https://peakd.com/hive-131665/@ninaeatshere/a-blackout-project-the-hive-tattoo-engesp) hablé sobre las sensaciones, impresiones y expectativas desde un punto de vista mas personal, acompañado de toda la ilusión que tenia al haber pasado por todo eso tan recientemente. Sin embargo, hay otros detalles igual de importantes que no me gustaría psar por alto y que quiero compartir ahora, acompañando el vídeo que ilustra el proceso de tatuado que finalmente terminé de editar jajaja.
En el vídeo, además de observar el proceso creativo y la ejecución de la artista, podemos comenzar a conocer un poco sobre ella, algo que me gustaría profundizar en las siguientes sesiones porque me parece muy importante poner en valor a la persona que está detrás de la obra.
Josabeth nos habla sobre su presencia en las redes sociales y su antiguo anonimato, que hizo creer a algunos clientes que ella era un hombre antes de llegar a conocerla en persona para tatuarse, resaltando el estigma que existía sobre la presencia de las mujeres en el mundo del tatuaje. También hablamos un poco sobre música y nos echamos algunas risas durante el proceso.
Espero que disfruten del vídeo y que sirva para cualquiera que esté interesado en conocer más sobre los blackouts, por lo visto hasta ahora no hay vlogs hablando sobre ello en Hive, así que me gustaría ir aportando toda la formación pertinente por medio de los vídeos que vaya grabando en las siguientes sesiones que me espera, así que si alguien tiene alguna inquietud puede compartirme la para comentarlo en próximas entregas.
# The artist: Josabeth González ![IMG_0030.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ninaeatshere/EoEsPgURnCoNKMzAF6HjLiwmYjTrDyaS59bQgVV4Z3STWi5WZkMGPHdaRFhXsibgqAF.jpeg)
Josabeth González is a Chapinian (Guatemalan) artist who specializes in blackwork tattooing, particularly blackout and blastover designs. For those who don't know exactly what each style is about, I recommend visiting her Instagram profile [@bacteria.negra](https://www.instagram.com/bacteria. negra/), where you can see designs created with lots of black ink on large areas of skin. She has also posted a photo of our work with the #HIVE logo on her profile. If you happen to stop by, let me know if you found it. 😉 Now when I think about it, I believe I got to know her almost by heavenly grace, haha, because when I started following her work on social media about two years ago while she was touring Spain, I had no intention of going to Guatemala, so I think she came into my life in the best possible way and with enough time in advance for me to familiarize myself with what she does and feel confident enough to contact her to start the blackout project I had been dreaming about for so long.

> **La artista: Josabeth González**
Josabeth González es una artista chapina (guatemalteca) que se especializa en tatuaje blackwort, sobre todo el diseño de blackouts y blastover. Para los que no saben concretamente de que trata cada estilo, les recomiendo visitar su perfil de Instagram [@bacteria.negra](https://www.instagram.com/bacteria.negra/) en donde podrán ver que se trata de diseños elaborados con mucho negro sobre grandes superficies de piel y, además, está publicada la foto del resultado de nuestro trabajo con el logo de #HIVE en su perfeil, si te asomas por allí, dejame saber si lo encontraste. 😉
Ahora que lo pienso, creo que yo llegue a conocerla casi por gracia divina jajaja porque cuando comencé a seguir su trabajo por redes sociales, hace unos dos años aproximadamente mientras hacía una gira por España, no tenía la más mínima intención de ir a Guatemala, así que creo que se me presentó de la mejor forma y con suficiente tiempo de antelación, para familiarizarme con lo que ella hacía y sentirme con la suficiente confianza de contactarla para comenzar el proyecto de blackout con el que hace tantísimo tiempo había soñado.

So, let's talk about the price 🤑. When I got back to the reception, I paid in cash the difference between what we had agreed when I booked the appointment and the final price, because to secure the booking I had to make a deposit or transfer of 300 Quetzales ($40) to the artist, which would be deducted from the final price of the tattoo. We initially agreed on **4,000 Quetzales (approximately $520)**, which could vary if something in the design changed during the session, but in our case, the price remained the same. Before leaving, I jumped at the chance to swap stickers with Josabeth. I only had a mini version of the @worldmappin pins with me, which I printed at Lake Atitlán to share with the new members of [Hive Hub Guate](https://peakd.com/c/hive-132463/created), so I left her a couple. I'm glad she liked them and told me she was a fan of stickers, as we could clearly see in her workroom, haha. So now this tattoo studio is located on the #worldmappin [map](https://worldmappin.com/), and there will surely be more posts attached to that location. My first experience with Josabeth was super cool, and I'm really happy that she turned out to be such a nice, respectful, and talented person who's in charge of doing this blackout project for me. I can't wait to continue with the sessions, despite the pain, hahaha. I hope you guys enjoyed the video, and I look forward to recording some more details for next time. Thanks so much for joining me on this adventure! Rock on!🤘

> El momento de la verdad, hablemos del precio 🤑 al volver a la recepción pagué en efectivo la diferencia restante de lo que habíamos acordado cuando reservé la cita, pues para asegurar la reserva había que hacer un deposito o transferencia de 300 Quetzales (40$) a la artista, que se descontarian del precio final del tatuje. En un principio acordamos 4.000 Quetzales (aproximadamente 520$) que podía variar si algo en el diseño cambiaba durante la sesión, pero en nuestro caso el precio se mantuvo.
Antes de irme, aproveché la ocasión de intercambiar pegatinas con Josabeth, solamente llevaba conmigo una mini versión de los pines de @worldmappin que imprimí en el Lago de Atitlán para compartir con los nuevos miembros de [Hive Hub Guate](https://peakd.com/c/hive-132463/created) y le dejé un par.
Me alegro que los recibiera con gusto y me dijo que era fan de los stickers, como bien podíamos ver en su sala de trabajo jajaja. Así que ahora este estudio de tatuaje está ubicado en el [Mapa de #worldmappin](https://worldmappin.com/) y seguramente habrá más publicaciones anexadas a esa ubicación.
Mi primera experiencia junto a Josabeth fue genial, estoy muy contenta de que haya resultado una persona tan agradable, respetuosa y talentosa quien esta a cargo de elaborar este proyecto de blackout para mi. No puedo esperar a continuar con las sesiones, a pesar del dolor jajajaja.
Espero que hayan disfrutado del vídeo y espero poder grabar un poco las de detalles para la próxima vez.
¡Muchas gracias por acompañarme e esta aventura!
Rock on!🤘
