For Maxime Plescia-Büchi it wouldn't be right to just call him 'a tattoo artist'. Born in 1978 in Lausanne, Switzerland, the artist studied Psychology at the University of Lausanne in 1998 and graphic design at the University of Lausanne Art and Design (École cantonale d'art de Lausanne - ECAL). Afterward, he worked for magazines such as NORM, North Design, Self Service Magazine, and Arena Homme and brands such as Büchi, Miu Miu, and Chloe working in design studios. Apprenticing under the direction of world-renowned tattoo artist Filip Leu, Büchi founded his versatile agency Sang Bleu in 2005.

Maxime, who has acquired a distinctive style in both tattoo and creative fields, has been working in his studios in London, Zurich, and Los Angeles since 2013.
