Known for her custom temporary tattoos which mix themes of digital identity, web culture and luxury fashion, John Yuyi is a Taiwanese artist, now based in Latest York, who has worked with Gucci, was included as one in every of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 for 2018, and in February 2018 debuted her first solo exhibition at The Art Emptiness in Latest York.
All of that, and her profession began by accident. After graduating from Shih Chien University in Taipei with a level in fashion design, Yuyi tried to earn some money selling custom temporary tattoos online. While she found it hard to make a profit, Yuyi began turning her tattoos into art and it took off from there. “I put social media, youth culture, beauty standards or my feelings onto bodies,” Yuyi says. “I’m not good at expressing myself with words so I didn’t give them an excessive amount of explanation or description. I actually didn’t expect it will grow to be my job – I just thought it will be fun!”
Well, cannot or not it’s each?
What’s your earliest beauty related memory?
14-years-old: I went to perm my eyelashes by myself and I didn’t tell my BFF. She felt I had betrayed her.
What three beauty products are in your bag right this second?
Definitely lipstick. Most significant (because in case you do not have blush and eyeshadow in real emergency cases lipstick prevent!!!) Fenty blotting powder!!! Very vital. Eyeshadow (same theory – in case you do not have eyebrow liner or contour shadow, in real emergency cases, eyeshadow prevent!!!)
What’s your favourite smell and why?
D&G Light Blue. I do not know why. I feel it was my first perfume gift and I just must smell it sometimes to remind me of highschool Yuyi.
What beauty product would you are taking with you to the moon? Why?
MUST BE moisturising lotion. I’m undecided, but I bet it should be super dry on the moon (pass mic to Armstrong).
What does beauty mean to you?
I feel for me I feel attracted by plenty of kinds of beauty, nature beauty, basic hottie beauty, cosmetic surgery beauty, high end beauty, trendy and in fashion beauty, cool beauty, weird beauty, ugly beauty, clean beauty, heavy beauty… I feel I actually have a very big selection of standards of beauty and I’m completely satisfied because I find plenty of stuff is beauty.
Are you optimistic in regards to the future?
Umm, will depend on my status of bipolar disorder. But at this moment I’m pretty positive. I wish my kids are cute.
