I Started working in 2019 as a tattoo artist in Wildcat tattoo studio, koln, Germany.

What other art mediums do you practice?
I do digital drawing, Tattooing and I started on analog, traditional, although after I found out and started to love it primarily is digital drawing.
What are your career highlights?
The way that your Art goes around the world and that people feel a connection with the energy that my designs makes on people in unexpected ways. Collaborating with brands and the opportunity to see your illustrations on someone’s skin or clothing is truly rewarding and still not getting on my head that people would love to have a piece of my Art on them.
What do you love about RTLA?
What I love most about RTLA is the way that they makes us feel that we have the creative control of the designs and the art that we do and that is an amazing feeling. This initiative not only allows brilliant ideas to be seen, but also for us to unite as artists within this tattoo community is going to the way that I don’t like with all the Egos and crap . I hope to build an amazing collabs with other Artists and continue to Grow.
