Hello, my name is Filip, and I come from Slovakia. I have been a professional tattoo artist for nearly 7 years, and I am a self-taught artist. My journey began with painting portraits, which has fascinated me since childhood. At the age of 13, I did my first tattoo on my leg using a machine I made from a Walkman. I started painting portraits at 23, about 15 years ago.

Today, I specialize in realistic tattoos, aiming to reflect the personality and story of each client. Tattooing is not just an artistic expression for me, but also a way to share emotions and memories. I look forward to new challenges in this fascinating field.

In my artistic journey, I specialize in realism and colorful tattoos. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I moved to Switzerland, where I opened my first tattoo shop with my now-wife, teaching her the craft as well. Today, we operate our third tattoo shop, where I continue to mentor aspiring artists.

My first recognition came in 2022 at my first tattoo convention in Bern, where I won 2nd place in the Best of Color category. This year, I achieved 2nd place in Austria, and I am confident that my next competition will bring me 1st place. My progress in tattooing is unstoppable, and I am continuously improving and evolving.
