Journey so far
After finishing high school, I followed a path through several fields — system administrator, freight organizer in logistics,
bus driver, web developer, product designer.
Each step gave me new skills and perspectives.
A Step Forward
In 2020, as the world slowed down, I turned my focus towards tattooing — exploring new ways to express ideas visually.
Catch the Moment
Photography has been a part of me since 2005 — a way to capture emotions and moments, to slow life down for a second and make people think.
Future Vision
I’m now preparing to launch my own business — a space to bring my projects to life and combine everything I’ve learned along the way.

Preferred tattoo style
Bringing neotrad style elements into the funny world of the cartoon.
I believe that the foundation of every tattoo is having clean, confident lines, as they hold the design together.
Long story short
I started learning tattooing in 2020. I focused on gaining theoretical knowledge (articles, videos), puzzling with coil tattoo machines,
and practicing line work, color packing and shading on reelskin™ fake skin with my coil, rotary and hybrid machines.
In 2021, I had the opportunity to spend two years as an apprentice at Underground Tattoo Shop in Stevenage (assisting tattoo artists,
helping out at the reception, cleaning), where I finally had the chance to practice on real skin.
I am looking for a similar opportunity in the UK: Thanet area : Margate / Broadstairs / Ramsgate.

did you know?
The world’s oldest known tattoos were found on a 5,300-year-old mummy named Ötzi the Iceman — he had 61 tattoos, most of them simple lines and crosses placed on joints and areas linked to pain relief, suggesting tattoos may have originally been used as a form of ancient therapy, not decoration.
Ötzi’s tattoos provide some of the earliest evidence of human body modification and hint at the practical as well as cultural significance of tattooing in prehistoric societies. source: SmithsonianMag

Behind the Lens
Photographing for over 20 years, mainly as a hobby, capturing the vibes, emotions, and moments of festivals and concerts, sometimes with effects added to enhance the mood. Each photo aims to convey a unique feeling, slowing life down for a second and making people think, sometimes revealing new details only noticed upon a closer look.
Present Shots
So far more than 22k of my photos have been published on rastafest.hu, with my work appearing there for 15+ years. In addition, my photos have been featured in several tattoo magazines.
