A tattoo artist in Bratislava. Working since 2023, in Japanese irezumi and american traditional. My own chair at Rose And Dagger on Karpatská 23.
Tattooing since 2023
I care about clean, precise work — every piece has to be worth carrying. Japanese and traditional are what I enjoy most, though I can be talked into other things (let us leave realism out of it, for everyone's sake).
When I am not tattooing I paint, or make odd but interesting objects. Drawing is the larger part of this job for me — the design happens on paper and on a tablet long before a needle touches anything.
I do not follow trends. Japanese work has centuries behind it and still holds up; traditional survived a hundred years on sailors and is still legible. That is a better reference for me than whatever is currently doing well on Instagram.
Rose And Dagger
I work from my own chair at Rose And Dagger on Karpatská 23 in Bratislava. I do not own the studio — I rent a station there, as several other artists do. For you that means two things:
- I come in for booked appointments. You will not catch me there unannounced, even when the studio is open.
- You will meet other artists and their clients. The studio is fully equipped, sterile and pleasant — it is simply not “mine”.
I think it is right to say that plainly. It is not a shortcoming, it is how most tattoo artists work — but it is fair that you know what you are walking into.
How I work
I draw every design myself and always for the person it is going on. For Japanese projects I draw straight onto a photograph of your arm or back, so the composition sits on your shape rather than on a generic one out of a book.
References from you are welcome. They help me understand the direction and the taste, not to copy. I do not reproduce someone else's tattoo exactly.
If you are not sure, I will not push. I would rather you leave without a date and come back in six months with a clear idea than carry something you had not thought through.
Hygiene and materials
- Single-use needles and cartridges, opened in front of you.
- Inks from established manufacturers, certified to the European standard.
- Gloves, disposable barrier film on every surface, and disinfection between clients.
- Afterwards you get a dressing and precise instructions for aftercare at home.
