Her real name is Asia, but she calls herself Joe. She wanted to become a jeweler, but became a tattoo artist. Please meet - Dzo Lama.
Dzo is a Polish artist from Wroclaw. In her life she creates a unique atmosphere of creativity in all its manifestations. After graduating from the faculty of Fine Arts, she wanted to become a jeweler, then a film director, but the creative flow dragged her into the area of tattooing. As she says herself: «I chose passion over sense».
Starting tattooing at the age of 17, after only 3 years she decided to create her own studio. The choice fell on an abandoned building at the old railway station, which with the help of incredible efforts of Dzo and her boyfriend Pawel turned into a safe art space for artistic and spiritual growth - Nasza.

Style and Technique
In tattoo art, Dzo pays special attention to detail and mood of each image. Her tattoo works are a combination of several techniques and styles: dotwork, watercolor, and sketch.

Her mastery of dotwork provides intricate detailing and shading that gives her fairy tattoos remarkable texture and depth. The watercolor technique adds ethereal, flowing elements that perfectly complement fairy imagery, creating the impression of gossamer wings and magical auras. Her sketch-style elements bring an organic, hand-drawn quality that makes each tattoo feel like a living illustration. This multi-technique approach requires extensive skill and planning, as each style must harmonize with the others to create a cohesive final piece.
