Interview with Tattoo Life Magazine

The international tattoo magazine Tattoo Life published an interview with me. In it I talk about my path – from precise micro-realism to larger Japanese-style projects – about craftsmanship, and about the connection with the people I tattoo.

What I talked about

“Tattooing has given me a different perspective on life. It is a unique profession where you form a deep connection with clients – not only through the artwork created, but also through the stories they share and the trust they place in you. Every tattoo has its own story, and being part of that journey is what makes this craft truly special.”

We also spoke about how I plan a design: why a micro-realism piece needs a high-resolution reference photo, how I decide which details will still read after years of healing, and why Japanese-style sleeves are built around the body rather than placed on it.
