Ever since leaving school, my dream was clear: I wanted to become a tattoo artist. Back then, there were no YouTube tutorials or articles readily available on tattooing, so I embarked on a challenging journey to acquire knowledge and skills.
I started with home experiments, laying the foundation for my future career. In 1998, I took a significant step by opening one of the first professional tattoo shops in my region, Sauron Tattoo Studio. As I yearned to expand my expertise, I ventured into body piercing. It became evident that there was a demand for professional piercing and body modification services in Poland. In 1999, I became the exclusive distributor of The Wildcat Collection, a leading body piercing company. My partnership with them has endured to this day, built on a foundation of trust and camaraderie.
Since 2000, I have been a regular attendee at international tattoo conventions, where I’ve earned over 80 awards and accolades for my work. I find immense satisfaction in having my craft recognized. To continually enhance my skills, I travel extensively and engage with fellow professionals, sharing insights and experiences.
In 2015, my journey took me to New York, where I joined a tattoo studio in Manhattan. Shortly thereafter, I had the honor of becoming a part of the H2Ocean Pro Team.
Throughout my career, I’ve discovered new avenues of artistic expression through drawing and tattooing. For me, tattooing is not just a profession; it’s a way of life, a source of joy, a pursuit of fulfillment, and, above all, an unwavering passion.
