About

Evgenii Mel (aka @evgenymel) is a tattoo artist based in Amsterdam, known for his deeply detailed fantasy realistic dotwork, blackwork, and surreal mystical compositions.

With over 15 years of experience in the industry, Evgenii specializes in freehand-drawn concepts that fuse geometric structure, abstract imagination, and raw human emotion. His style combines the delicacy of engraving with the contrast of bold monochrome, often enhanced by turquoise accents.

Whether you’re looking for a surreal portrait, an organic freehand piece, or a custom-designed symbol rich in texture and depth — his works always carry story and soul.

Very professional and creative. Very good converting words into ideas and creating a comfortable space. Have went to Evgeny a couple of times and sure will return in the future.

During our session he sat me down to design the tattoo based on a picture I'd taken that summer. Assisted by different overlays in Photoshop he designed the sketch. Alternative fillings of skies and mountains was all done by freehand. With his way of working there was plenty room for discussing, fine-tuning, and really being a partaker of the whole process. Will come back (once I come up with a new idea).

Amazing experience. From a vague idea to a beautiful piece of art. Happy to wear it every day, thinking about next one from Mel ;) Oh, and a very light hand, healed perfectly

Это лучший мастер, который создаёт шедевры своими руками. Я жду и буду ждать этого талантливого человека в Москве, т.к. никому больше не доверю рисовать на своём теле.
