Art first.
Tattooing next.
I've been drawing my whole life. Now I'm looking for a studio where I can grow into a tattoo artist.
The Work
Drawings, sketches, and illustrations — my visual language before the needle.
All work is original — no AI, no reference copies.
How I Work
Drawing
Everything starts with a pencil. I spend more time drawing than anything else. The sketchbook comes before the screen, and the screen comes before the machine.
Style
I'm drawn to fine line, clean geometry, and work that looks intentional on the skin. Less is more. A design that holds up in ten years is more interesting to me than one that impresses for ten minutes.
Process
I study how tattoos age, how skin reacts, and what makes a design work long-term — even before I pick up a machine. The craft matters as much as the art.
"I'm not looking for a shortcut.
I want to learn properly."
I want to learn under someone who takes the craft seriously. I'm willing to put in the time, show up every day, and earn it. If you run a studio in or around Graz and you're open to taking on an apprentice, I'd genuinely love to talk.
Let's talk
Who I Am
I'm Andrej — originally from Banja Luka, now based in Graz. I've been drawing since I can remember, and I fell in love with tattoos in 2022.
Since then I've been studying the craft obsessively: following artists I respect, practicing my line work daily, and learning everything I can about what makes a tattoo last. I'm ready to take the next step.
Let's Talk
If you're a studio owner or senior artist open to taking on an apprentice, I'd love to introduce myself properly.
