It helped me a lot to be found by Marat.blackart who took the time to properly teach me with other great artists at Empty Project Tattoo Studio. But it is also quite gentle, because all efforts and learning are easily shown and appreciated. It is one of the hardest and with most multidisciplinary skills job I’ve worked in. Tattoo artistry is not only about beautiful designs and a good technique, it is also about hygiene, customer service, social media, professional ethics, skin care, a little bit of dermatology. Still, he made an inception of that idea, it just was part of of my horizons by then, but years later, a few years ago now, I caught myself thinking that tattoo artist were badass people that made beautiful things, and if I knew how to draw, it wouldn’t be that hard, but it was a big mistake. It was something definitely not on the table.well, being educated by a conservative family, it wasn’t even in the dining room.but I was working at a coffee shop when I met a guy who was a tattoo artist and he offered me to teach me how to do it. Tattooing came to me, I wasn’t searching for it. I wanted to be a storyteller, like a mangaka or comic “one man army”. How did you get into tattooing? Did you always know you wanted to be a tattooer or did you have other plans in mind?
