About me

I have been professionally tattooing since 1996, apprenticed under maestro Scott Ellis from USA living in beautiful Praha, Czech Republic.

I came to New Zealand in 2001 and fell in love with the beautiful country and its easy going people.

I love to do colour realism. I love to have freedom in execution while I appreciate my client’s idea of what they desire to achieve. I also have a passion for freehand Kirituhi tattoos which gives me a bit more freedom to create.

Interests

Moana. The Ocean is my greatest passion and a place to recharge. I love freediving/ spearfishing and this is a theme we could talk for hours.

Well, you can hit me on winemaking too and you will make my day. If you offer to go for a horse ride I will not hesitate as that once upon a time was my thing. All mentioned above and more sport activities I love sharing with my 3 adorable (most of the time) kids. 🙂

Motto

Nothing is impossible, but it has its limitations 🙂 End of story.

    step three

    After care

    Looking after your fresh tattoo is essential. There are number of skin conditions, like cellulitis that could occur as a result of poor care. After finishing on the day, the artist is going to apply a protective film over your skin. This is to protect it from the outside environment. Afterall, you have an “open wound”. Applying good quality moisturising cream to help with the healing process is recommended. You will be guided to best options available.
