I started tattooing in 2010 and have been working professionally since 2016. Over this time, I have worked with clients in different countries, including Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and France, and I am currently based in Canada. This experience has given me a broad understanding of different approaches and client expectations.

I specialize in realistic tattoos with a focus on clean execution and healed results. I create custom designs tailored to each client’s ideas and anatomy. I am inspired by the work of leading artists in the realism field.
