Мария Tzimisk

I'm a tattoo artist from Moscow. I work in black and grey realism, often blending it with neo-oriental and neotraditional elements. My favorite subjects include dark aesthetics, skulls, vampires, dark fantasy, as well as Japanese-inspired themes like warriors, samurais, dragons, and oni masks. I came into tattooing from a background in traditional painting, which still influences my approach to composition and light.
I'm currently based in California (USA). I've received several awards at American tattoo festivals, including first and second place in the Japanese Tattoo category, second place in Color Infused Black & Gray, and third place in both Large Black & Gray and Large Color categories.
I prefer working on large-scale projects, sleeves, leg pieces, back pieces. At the moment, I’m focused on full-format tattoos and gradually returning to traditional painting, which has always been an essential part of my artistic journey.
