The Artist

A quiet obsession with
detail and quality.

I create black-and-grey realism and graphic tattoos for people who want more than just ink on their skin. A tattoo stays with you for years, so the design process deserves as much attention as the tattoo itself.

Every project starts with understanding your idea — placement, composition, and the details that make a piece feel personal and timeless. My focus is clean execution, strong contrast, and tattoos that age well.

Based in Riga, I work with a limited number of clients each month, so every project gets my full time and attention — from concept to completion.

Rates

Honest pricing,
no surprises.

A 20% deposit secures your date and comes off the final total. Every project begins with a free consultation.

Consultation Free

We sit down with your idea, sketch options straight onto your body, and find the composition together — so you can see how it will sit before any needle touches skin. Bring a concept and I'll help shape it in my style.
