I spent 10 years at sea before trading storms for ink. Drawing has been with me since childhood — my uncle is a mural restorer. In school, I built handmade tattoo machines and sketched flashes for friends. My tattoo journey began in 2016 as a creative outlet during shore leave. Between 2016 and 2020, it remained a passion project — I trained one-on-one in 2017 and kept growing through masterclasses with top artists. I opened my own studio, “MOREMAN” in Izmail, Ukraine — a space where sailors got their stories inked. In 2020, I left the sea for good and dedicated myself fully to tattooing. Every step shaped my vision — from the discipline of the ocean to the detail of the needle. The journey continues — guided by ink and the mindset of a sailor.

I love working in both color and black & grey realism. I also work in Japanese, new school, old school, traditional, Polynesian, and ornamental styles. My focus is on meaningful, custom-built designs that reflect each client’s story. While I don’t use freehand regularly, it helps me craft natural flow when needed. I’m currently tattooing in Mamaia / Constanța at Gothic Tattoo, surrounded by a creative and driven team. My pieces often carry energy shaped by real experience — raw, honest, and personal. I’m a proud member of Romania’s Tattoo Artists Association and winner of “Best of Traditional” at the 2024 Constanța Tattoo Convention. I’ve also been featured multiple times in GOROD magazine in my hometown.
