About My Ink:
I’m a big lover of huge multi sessions with large size images, mostly black and white. I guess my customers don’t share this opinion. They hate me after 5-6 hours continuous work. I can't imagine why!
My style is mostly realism, like portraits, pin ups, wild life and so on, but I love designing tribal and biomechanical pieces and all kinds of fantasy and nonfigurative stuff. They are simple yet good looking and I have a lot of fun from the beginning of the design to the finished tattoo. I always design these tattoos individually according to the concept and placement. You can see the different styles of tribal motifs on my Flash Sets. Tribal pieces require more patience during the procedure and a different kind of attention to technical knowledge compare to other styles. They are kind of relaxing pieces between two big realistic pieces and I love how they twist and disappear and reappear.
I am a slave to my admiration for reproductions of paintings. I just simply love them. Likewise, I love a well composed, complex, multi-arranged sleeve or back piece. But custom pieces require TIME. I take my time developing a drawing, but you guys have to know it takes at least as much time to create something on paper from scratch as it does to apply them to skin. This is the really hard and time consuming part of a tattoo for me. To put the right shape in the right spot with the right values and right highlights and shape can be difficult. Like every kind of creation, it can be easy and fun but can also cause suffering and inconvenient as well. After all of this, putting it on the skin is always the fun part...... for me of course.
I’m a self taught tattoo artist. Around 93-94 there was no one around me who could help me out with professional technique. I had to rely on my careful observation, trial and error and experimenting. I learned as I went. I made all the mistakes - at least once - as you can image. But first of all I learned what NOT to do and it showed me the path to the right way. Sounds like a lot of touch up work, huh? Yes, it was.
To develop every little piece of knowledge might take much longer to acquire, but the good thing is you can establish what you are or you can be, because you don’t learn the way of tattooing through someone else's eyes and methods. Another positive result for this long, tiring and sometimes depressing way of improving is that you are not forced to tattoo in someone else's way. You set up your working area as you think best fits your requirements. You set up the way you want to work. The tough part is you are the only one you can blame for mistakes.
I usually take two trips annually from NY - which is the headquarters - to FL where I do guest spots in the Tampa Bay area.
