Ancient rules of world wide web allow everybody to brag around, with or without reason… but who wants to read that??? I do not, so I do not want to bother you with such crap, becouse you are free willingly on these pages. Therefore just a few pure facts.
In the year of 1971 AD, New York Times published first ever article on graffiti art, Idi Amin came to power in Uganda, Rolling Stones moved to France to avoid taxes, Charles Manson convicted on mass murder, Ray Tomlinson sent first e-mail, Rolls Royce bankrupted, USSR performs several nuclear tests, France performs nuclear test, USA performs several nuclear tests, a Clockwork Orange premiere, and above all of that I was born…
As all tattoo artist on the planet like to say- yessss, I always liked to draw, and I guess I have always had some tallent attached to that, but being one of the classical “R’n’R life style” victims, as I am, I have never went to any kind of university, neither ever wanted to go to one, nor miss it… Hunger of all my interests was never fed in school, so I had to feed it in other methods, and one of mine biggest hungers was for tattooing. And still is. Although I’m in tattooing for nearly 15 years, I still feel like I don’t know nothing, and I think it’s good to feel like that…Once you think you know it all, you’re done…
Officialy, I have started tattooing while serving the army (here it is obligation) in 1991. When I got back, somehow I have managed to get myself a “professional” tattoo machine, which, actually, was a piece of crap. In 1995. I went to Rome, Italy, and worked in a tattoo studio for a few months. It was a priceless expirience in many ways. There I have learned proper way of soldering the needles, and other things, and above all, there I have heard for the first time about Micky Sharpz supplies, which is still one of mine favorite suppliers. Spent in Italy few months, didn’t like it there, so I got back home, dumped old equipment, bought a new one, and that’s how Serbia’s finest tattoo studio was born… J Oh, yes… I forgot. Studio is located in Belgrade, capital of Serbia (ex Yugoslavia).
I have been few times invited to do guest spots in various known and less known studios across the USA, invited to some expo’s, even Atlanta tattoo expo 2000, but becouse of the political situation of the time, US embassy twice denied my application for visa.
So, still, thank Heavens, I’m running my studio, throuhg these turmoil times that we live… I guess that I don’t have to mention that I do everything “by the book”, single use needles, autoclave, cross contamination prevention, and everything else that is a nowdays standard of the industry. All kind of work is available at the studio, including cover-ups and reworks. Also all kind of styles, including portraits, and other “hard stuff”, but you can check it in gallery. And to make it in PC language- “user friendly” atmosphere…
Under link “tattoorial” you will find some texts about tattooing, pigments, etc, but it’s all on Serbian language. Sorry guy’s, I couldn’t bother with translating it, since you already have it all on English.
On page “contact” you have few of mine e-mail adresses, so feel free to write to me on any issue you like. Sure am glad to meet new people…
Thanks for visiting…
