Exclusive Interview with World Tattoo Events

I'm honored to be featured in an exclusive interview with World Tattoo Events, where I share my full story behind my journey as black and grey realism tattoo artist—from growing up in the Netherlands and building my career as a tattoo artist and entrepreneur.

In the interview, I dive into how I first started tattooing at 17, inspired by street culture and artists like Mister Cartoon. I talk about the evolution of my style, my love for large-scale custom tattoos, and the importance of artistic freedom in creating long-lasting, powerful pieces. We also touch on my experience at over 20 European tattoo conventions, my role as a mentor, and my long-term goals, including expanding my fine art portfolio and building my presence in the U.S. tattoo scene.
