How did I become a tattoo artist? Even I’m not quite sure—I simply followed my dreams…

I started tattooing in the late 1990s, first just at home as a hobby, tattooing friends and acquaintances. I had no idea what I was really doing, but I felt that I could make it work—I just needed a lot of practice.

After quite a few failed designs, I finally felt brave enough to try my luck abroad. In 2008, I moved to Dublin, where I had the opportunity to work for six months at Wildcat Tattoo. There, I could finally create in a professional environment and learn professional techniques from other tattoo artists.

The following year I moved back to Hungary and continued my career at Ronin Tattoo in Budapest, where I kept refining my skills.

In 2011, I opened the Everest Tattoo studio, which over the years has grown into one of the most significant studios in Buda. During this time, I also found the style I truly enjoy working in—mainly Asian and realistic tattoo designs.
