VIOLET CHACHKI'S TATTOO TOUR 

Fascinating that two drag artists have the same inspirational roots (Barbie) and yet are so _completely_ different.

I'd love the same thing with Katya explaining all her tattoos.

For any who are interested, the artists are: John Willie (fetish artist), René Gruau (fashion illustrator), Tom of Finland (homoerotic artist), Gene Bilbrew (fetish artist), Pierre Molinier (French surrealist)

this is without a doubt the most educational tattoo video I’ve ever watched. queen of references

Tattoos are such an interesting way of self expression. Using yourself as a canvas for your tastes, inspos and vision.

Next to a jewelry tour. That necklace has been on my mind for a while.

What many would write off as a casual tattoo body tour, is really an art lesson of influential 19th century artists! This vid is so densely packed with info, that I've actually watched twice. It may be helpful for those who aren't familiar with the artists that you reference, or who don't speak English, to have the name appear on the screen as you share with us how their work has influenced you. Thank you for sharing of yourself! Looking forward to the next vid!

I am convinced that Violet was created in a lab by a band of thirsty bisexuals or something omg

we NEEEED your buffalo bill performance on RU-vid

Your arm tattoos looks so cool with this shirt

I love your foot arch, a ballerina"s dream.

its so mesmerising how well you know your references, and how consistent your personal tattoos are with the persona of 'violet', i could literally read a whole book just about the artists that have inspired you

Kinda wish they would zoom in on each tattoo while she explained the tattoo

@2:31 “... and this’s not an homage to any drag queen by the way” 🤣

Violet's confidence needs to be turned into an article. A thesis even.

I love how Violet tattoo of herself is the one she loves the most

Something about your thumbnail makes you look like the fourth Jonas Brother

You are literally a walking piece of art, everything about you is flawless, as Violet and as Jason and as anything in between. You’re such an inspiration, I love you so much.

"Even ugly for me is still, pretty pretty" mooood

It's Friday the 13th today. Skull tattoo anniversary :O

absolutely loved this video, vi💜 i don’t know if you edit your own videos or not, but the one critique i have is that in post, it would be beneficial to display images of the people, places, objects, etc. you’re referencing around on the screen. i love how informed you are, and that extra presentation would serve you well!💋💋

Absolutely LOVE the Tom of Finland tattoo! As a Finnish person I am oh so very proud of the fact that we have a famous gay-culture icon who is known all around the world and who has had an impact on so many of us in the lgbt-community. I'm so happy and glad to see that his legacy is being kept alive, as it should be. Btw have you seen the recently made movie that tells the story of Touko a.k.a Tom? If you haven't, I strongly recommend it!

Once she started talking about the john willie tattoo I clocked that her YT profile photo is probably one of the photoshoots she's referring to being dressed as the tattoo. She's so cultured and intelligent, truly an understated queen

He's just simply adorable.

Violet is so interesting. Her references and knowledge is unending.

love love love! a l s o tho kinda bummed that each tattoo didnt get a proper up close detailed shot

all your tattoos are so well-done, but that castle one you showed us made my jaw drop. it's gorgeous!!

I love watching you out of drag b/c you look exactly like my cousin that died 2 years ago. I miss him so much and seeing your face makes me happy again....

Hi a Finnish person here! Kake is a shortened ”nickname-ish” version of the name Kauko 👍🏻 (which is a slightly more vintage mens name here)

THIS is the kind of tattoo tour I've been looking for forever and I'm so happy it's from you because I love you and all your ink

I absolutely lovee the limp wristed glove,, They’re all beautiful

I love how all your videos are long, fun and informative!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Okay but this shirt is 🥺😍😍

I love that your personal style includes a mix of both 'hard' and soft' attributes. I'm so jealous of your feet though, mine are flat and it has caused debilitating chronic pain in my feet, legs and hips.

I love seeing all of Violet's content, I think she's such a talented n eloquent queen and she clearly knows so much about her aesthetics art and culture and its clearly so important to her, we love to see it

this was by far the most fascinating tattoo tour I've ever seen, love all the references and the style and directions ur following w the tattoos as a whole

This was my favorite episode, so far, on your channel, thank you so much for sharing!!

i’ve always loved your john willie tattoo. just fabulous!

super impressed with your references and tattoos! a really nice guide to what you’ve curated for your permanent collection :)

I've been waiting for this ever since you started the channel

Thank you! I really enjoyed hearing about your tat journey and inspiration. Each of them are interesting. My favorite is the cicada. I enjoy the simplicity, beauty and humor of it. I also live by the fly on a wall mentality which not everyone gets or celebrates. 💕

I love that gothic castle tattoo with the two moons, it’s so cool!

I love how passionate you are, well spoken and creative keep up the good work and just keep being you You are beautiful human

They're all beautiful - but I love the safety pin holding the scar together!

yesss we love a silence of the lambs reference 😍

I can't believe how pretty and intelligent you are🙌🏾❤

Loved this video!! Fun to hear about your Tattos and travels.

This is probably my second favorite video you’ve ever done, the first being the corset one. I love hearing about all the tattoos, the inspirations and what they mean to people. I got my first one last year at 47. 😂💜

Thank you for sharing! I really like your Will Sheldon tattoo. Inspired to get a tattoo myself now

One of the most sexiest men can turn into one of the most sexiest woman! By far the most beautiful drag i ever saw!!

I adore that castle tattoo! It’s just spooky and beautiful..ur tattoos r so nicely spaced..that’s what I’m going for too

I was expecting this video for so long!!!! and I love it

The Tom of Finland shirt I LIIIVE

This was nothing less than an actual art lesson, my soft art student heart made me cry something like four times while watching lmao It always amazes me how smart you are and how many different things you’re interested in, I’m definitely glad to have you in my life.

Those are some of the most beautiful tattoos I've ever seen. I love all the references and the stories behind them. Also I'm obsessed with the Silence of the Lambs, so I was like crying when you talked about Buffalo Bill!

Beautiful video,we all love you Violet❤️

violet’s tattoos are my favorite tattoos of anyone!!!! i want my tattoos to be reminiscent of hers

Love your fly tattoo, very creative the way you interpret the meaning. From far my favorite Queen ever. 💜

Yay Finland represent, you're my favourite violet x

Shiva and Pavarti wow. I cant believe you have that those are the goddesses that I pray too

the safety pin is so cool, love the vibe of ur tats

I really am drawn to the heel and glove, it looks almost Coraline like to me. I love that distinct type of art and drawing, it's really eye catching and you're not sure how to feel about it.

yes!! I've been waiting for this!!

I found this extremely interesting and I've always said that the best tattoos are the ones with the most unique art and personal to the invidual.You're an extremely intelligent and inspiring human 🔥🔥🔥🖤

I’ve been waiting for this 😍

Thank you for doing this! I am fascinated by tattoo art and have always wondered why they do it and what tattoos mean for them. I hope it starts a trend! I also love Adam levins tattoos. Your videos are so entertaining and educational! It seems that once people start getting tattoos, they can't stop. Don't get to carried away! I hope Kameron Michael's does one too. He has some interesting tattoos.

YES, love the Tom of Finland tank!!

Had to pause your video so many times to look up the artists you mentioned! This is why I love you and your videos, I feel so cultured afterwards ❤

Queen of Content!!!!

i love how informated are you on everything, beautiful and very smart

one of the more interesting tattoo tour videos I've ever seen

Thank you for sharing your tattoo journey! My fave is the ToF rider-boy hommage :D hot stuff! Love the references overall you're knowledgeable and inspiring me to continue with my own tat-path!

you got some innovative, aesthetic notions on new tats sis!

Love from India, Violet! ❤ Hope you get to visit again soon, we have a really cool up and coming drag scene here and it would be EVERYTHING to see you perform in person

I learn so much every time I watch your videos 🤓😍❤️

That focus is what I been joyed 🤓 the most getting at view of look fantastic simply 💗

YAS. I have been waiting for this video!!

I just love his voice it’s so calming

I love this sooooo much !!!

Drip / jewellery tour pls !! And wardrobe tour !!

I love your Tom of Finland shirt!

I actually have the same John Willie tattoo. I did a lot of fetish-themed paintings in high school and I got inspiration from his work. ❤️

Awesome Ink Work. Tattoos are always such an inspiration. I always prefer the natural forms, inspired by wild animals. A woolf paw, the wings of a moth, a beautiful tree. Nice necklace by the way. Very inspiring indeed. And we always love the symbolism by Tom of Finland. 🖤💜

I feel like Violet Chacki would make a great art teacher

I am german and never heard of Bild Lili....thanks for that interesting history lesson!

i dont know but i like how you express some history in you and how you introduce the art in you spirit lots of coming through for you

Omg omg omg I freaked when you pulled up your shirt I knew right away I love love loveeee

love you and totally enjoyed this video. absolutely LOVE the castle one. and yes totally down with more Buffalo Bill tattoos. xoxo love from Maryland

I didn't think it possible to adore you more than I currently do, but (horror fan that I am) the fact that you have a Buffalo Bill-inspired tattoo kicks my admiration up several notches. If you did your Buffalo Bill dance to "Goodbye Horses" this Halloween, I could basically die happy.

Im alll over that buffolo bill tat i screamed when i saw u had it cause silence of the lambs is my all time favorite movie.

Feeling so blessed to see this

Would love to chat with Violet over a cup of tea 🍵 she's so insightful,well spoken and very wise. Cute as heck to boot!

Yes, as someone from Finland, I can confirm that the character "Kake" from Tom of Finland's works is pronounced as "Kuh-kay" :)

Your Buffalo Bill tattoo has always been my fave!

I really enjoyed this video. Now I wanna get tattoos

u always put a smile on my face 😊

Love the dior piece

Just do whatever you want. They are your tattoos and each one is special.

SO handsome AND beautiful... Violet has it all.

I love all of them! I wish there were links for all the artists so I could find them all easier :)
