I am a graphic designer by education – I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław in 2002. However, my master’s thesis was related to fashion and this is also what I did for the next 8 years after graduation. The adventure with tattooing began about 10 years ago, something that was supposed to be just a hobby or a side hustle, turned very quickly into a passion and lifestyle. I have spent the last 8 years traveling and tattooing on virtually all continents of the world. For a few years now, however, I have started to miss the world of fashion and design, and I have started to move in this direction again, looking for ways and ways that would allow me to do both professions at the same time. Designing prints on clothes using sketches for tattoo designs has become my path and currently the only way to combine these two passions. Just as my experience with bodywork in clothing design helped me understand bodywork in the profession of a tattoo artist, now, after many years of tattooing, this profession has enriched me with the ability to match image to body, a richer, more dynamic, storytelling image. Applying an image to clothing such as leggings that adhere to the body requires virtually the same process as preparing leg tattoos. And that’s the magic.
