For me, illustration, tattooing, and design are all based on the same principle - a balance between idea, form, and how the work interacts with the body. These elements cannot exist separately: a strong project only works when concept, composition, scale, and contrast are considered together and adapted to the chosen placement.

My practice is focused primarily on large-scale projects. I specialize in sleeves, cover-ups, and complex compositions that bring together existing tattoos into a cohesive whole. My focus is on flow, proportion, and visual continuity - creating work that fits the body naturally rather than sitting on it as a separate image.

All of my work is based on original designs created in my style. Clients come to me with an idea, and I develop it into a complete project, relying on experience, anatomy, and composition. Freehand is an essential part of my process, allowing me to adjust elements directly on the body and respond to its individual shape, movement, and proportions - something a flat design alone can never fully achieve.
