***Tell us what style you work in?

I work and breathe in traditional. I like my designs to be bold in lines and colors.

***How long has the shop been there and how did you become part of it?

The shop will be celebrating it’s 6th aniversary this November. I was adopted in 2023 a several months after it moved to Bratislava and have been its part ever since.

***Do you have a vibrant traditional tattoo scene in Bratislava?

Although there’s several great tattoo shops in Bratislava, they’re mostly focused on other tattoo styles like neotrad, blackwork etc., making us the only traditional tattoo shop in the city right now. We’re doing our best to make the traditional tattoo scene in Bratislava thrive by doing flash days, inviting talented guests and building a community.

***How do you see the importance of traditional tattooing, and what do you think is important  to help push forward to the next generation?

World changes every day but traditional tattooing keeps its core values. Traditional tattoo will never go out of style nor will it fade. It’s made to last a lifetime. Traditional tattooing isn’t about ego, it’s about respect for history, people who came before us and clients who decide to wear our work for life.

***What do you wish everyone knew about tattoos or tattooing?

Tattoos don’t make you a different person than you were before getting them!
