Are there any positive sides of being an artist?
Of course, there are plenty, and I wouldn’t realize the positives working
in other jobs. Thanks to this interview, people in other parts of the world
can see my work and learn about me as an artist. Each year, I travel to
various cities all over the world. The biggest advantage is that I get to
have a job doing what I love. It also gives me the opportunity to learn
about myself. I meet with a lot of wonderful people from all over the
world, many of whom I’m still in contact with today.
Can I ask if there are any negative parts of your job?
At first, a lack of time and rest, because even when I’m resting, I’m
working. I lose myself so much in it, and now, I don’t know what is work
and what is relaxation.
How would you describe the current status of tattoos by the general
public in Poland?
Tattoos in Poland are still categorized as a different subculture. Although
thousands of people have them, we feel that not everyone likes that
form of body art.
Have you noticed any changes in the tattooing industry since you
started?
Definitely. Technique and equipment has improved a hundred percent,
and it is still evolving. During these last ten years, the world of tattooing
has changed a lot. It’s exciting to think what the next decade will bring.
How has the tattooing industry changed, in your opinion since shows
like LA, NY, MIAMI and LONDON INK have been broadcasted to the
nation?
I think that these shows have increased the popularity of this industry.
Thanks to these shows, us artists gain a lot of free advertisement.
Unfortunately, these shows can also lead to bad manners, untrue
stories, and unrealistic expectations from the client of their tattoo artist.
