there is a realistic aspect I am all about it. Do you do art in other mediums such as color pencil, oil , digi- tal, sculpting? I mainly draw in color pencil or charcoal. I think pencil has a lot of relation to tattooing technique wise, and is a great medium to prac- tice with so most of my artwork is color pencils.Recently i have been revisiting oil painting and I’m having a lot of fun, and relearn- ing my color theory with it. Besides tattooing, which would you consider your favorite me- dium?? Color pencils definitely. Faber Castell, Polychromos all the way. Any plans to travel to other countries including the U.S.? I have done a few guest spots in all sorts of random places around the world and I love it. I plan on going everywhere, including all over the US. I have a ton of friends over there and can’t wait to get back there and have some fun. I’m working on my Visa right now so it won’t be long until I’m there. Do you have any other hobbies other than art? Currently not really. I used to be a guitarist in a death metal band and I’ve toured the world multiple times with that, but it ate up too much of my tattooing time and I had to step back to dedicate more time to my art. I miss the stage, but tattooing is where my heart is. Future plans? I don’t make plans. I basically wing it daily. i’ll be working on getting back to the states ASAP and doing a lot of conventions. I’ve also been offered permanent spots in all kinds of places all around the US, UK and Europe. I really have no idea but whatever happens, It’s gonna be a hell of a ride! 49
