I am a REALIST

I am a REALIST, or more specifically, I work in a style that can be described as OBJECT PORTRAIT REALISM.

The immense possibilities of this style allow me to develop creativity and approaches on every project.

This style combines detailed objects (which are the focus of attention) with simplified, and sometimes flat elements (which prevent the project from becoming messy).

sorry mom, I'm a realist

Whether it’s colorful comics or monochromatic noir, detailed portraits or objects built on flat forms.

The client is not always right!

After all these years, I have come to this conclusion!

Imagine a situation where a patient with appendicitis comes to a clinic and asks the doctor to remove it, but THROUGH THE KNEE. Of course, the doctor will refuse for several reasons, but the patient insists because they want it done THAT WAY or THEY ARE PAYING MONEY, so they believe they have the right to demand it.

The same story applies here, albeit not as exaggerated.

And it is when this approach is the foundation of our interaction with the client that everyone will be happy with the final result!

It doesn't matter what the client wants or how they think it should be placed.

I can give you WHAT you want

and it's normal!

What matters is that the end result of our collaboration meets the standards of quality and suitability.

Fortunately, it doesn't work like that, and it's all because a true specialist knows how their work should be done!

A good tattoo
is like a layered cake

This concept also came to me over the years while observing healed works of mine and colleagues from around the world.

It is impossible to create a perfect tattoo in one go!
Only by layering can you achieve a high-quality shading and an overall satisfactory result.

Based on this experience, I have developed a habit of working in layers, allowing each stage to settle properly.

With strawberries, mm-m.

Services

I rarely take on small (one-day) projects.

The more space available for work, the more resources there are to bring your story to life.

I like it bigger

I work in sessions, and on average, a session lasts 5-7 hours.
The number of sessions depends on the size and complexity of the project.

Most of my works involve large areas of the body, such as SLEEVES, LEGS, or full BACK/TORSO pieces.
