About The winner of the contest of the International Moscow Tattoo Week 2018 and iNKPPL Tattoo Magazine

Today we want to present to you an article dedicated to the winner of the International Moscow Tattoo Week 2018's, contest, which took place in the social networks accounts of the event. Please, meet Anastasia Svechnikova.

Nastya lives in Moscow and works as a nail master. She very long begged her parents for her first tattoo and got it when she was 15 years old. It was an inscription on the wrist and from this began her tattoo-sleeve.

Anastasia's journey represents the evolving landscape of tattoo culture in Moscow, where acceptance of body art continues to grow. The Moscow tattoo scene has flourished over recent years, producing world-class artists and passionate collectors like Nastya who view their bodies as living canvases. Her story resonates with many young Russians who see tattoos as a form of personal expression and artistic freedom in an increasingly creative society.

Now, Nastya has a special tradition: every year, on her birthday, she gives herself tattoos, marking each lived year.

Style and Technique

Based on Anastasia's commitment to building comprehensive sleeve work and her annual tattoo tradition, her collection appears to embrace diverse artistic styles that create a cohesive narrative across her body. Her approach to tattooing suggests an appreciation for detailed work that can be seamlessly integrated into existing pieces, creating flowing compositions that tell her personal story through ink.

The progression from a simple wrist inscription to full sleeve development demonstrates an understanding of how tattoo placement and design evolution work together. This methodical approach to building tattoo collections requires careful planning and collaboration with skilled artists who can maintain stylistic consistency while allowing for artistic growth over time.

Personal Philosophy and Modeling Career

As she said to iNKPPL:

«I don't know when I can stop. All these pictures are already part of me, I simply can not imagine myself without it! I often attract attention of people, different kind of attention, but it does not bother me! So, get tattoos if you feel inside that this is really yours, but don't get it because millions of people have done it to be more fashionable, and everything will be fine.»

During development of the tattoo industry in Russia, Nastya also thought about a professional modeling career and already worked with several fashion events in Moscow, was model for the line of clothing of the young brand Rosewood, and also participated in photo shoots with many Moscow photographers.

Her modeling work demonstrates the growing acceptance of tattooed individuals in fashion and commercial photography. This shift reflects broader cultural changes in how society views body art, moving from stigmatization to celebration of tattoos as legitimate artistic expression.

Notable Works

The works shown in the gallery above showcase Anastasia's commitment to high-quality tattoo artistry and her evolution as a collector. Her pieces demonstrate the careful consideration that goes into each addition to her collection, reflecting both personal significance and artistic merit. Each tattoo represents not just another year of life, but another chapter in her ongoing story told through ink.

Her approach to tattoo collecting serves as inspiration for others considering their own tattoo journeys. The importance of proper planning, artist selection, and long-term vision becomes evident when viewing her cohesive body of work. For those inspired by Anastasia's story, remember that proper tattoo aftercare is essential for maintaining the quality and vibrancy of any tattoo investment.
