My journey in the tattoo industry began in 2018 after completing top tattoo courses in Kyiv (Ukraine) I returned to my hometown of Odesa, worked in a great studio for a year, and then opened my own.My favorite styles are Japanese, Neo-Traditional, and Micro-Realism. I’m especially passionate about cover-up tattoos — helping people regain confidence by transforming old tattoos, scars, burns, or stretch marks.That’s why I started “Ink Revive” — a project where clients share their personal stories and cover-up ideas. I create custom designs based on their stories and invite them for a consultation to ensure a smooth and successful session.Helping people feel more confident and free from insecurities through tattooing is what I truly love.

The first tattoo studio I opened was small, with a wonderful team of six people. But I wanted to create more than just a tattoo studio — I dreamed of building an art space where every artist would feel inspired and work with joy.Later, I decided to rent a 3,230-square-foot space (3 floors). A few months after renovating and launching it, I had 32 talented tattoo artists working there. Two years ago, I decided to take a step forward and move to the U.S., where I soon hope to open my own studio and build another amazing, talented team.
