Maladie‘s tattoo style was inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Her work symbolizes strength, healing. Every design tells a story of evolving through pain, and finding wholeness in what once seemed broken. Each of us carries fractures, but it’s through these cracks that light can shine, revealing more than just the darkness of painful experiences. Suffering is not an end: it’s a path to growth and transformation.
