the customer. They expect from me a high quality tattoo and I always
try to do my best for them. And what I ask from my customers is just
to be more open-minded. Trust your tattoo artist and he will work
100% of his skills.
Are there any positive sides of being an artist?
A lot!!! First of all, you leave a part of you on people’s skin for the rest
of their life. Tattoos change people. And artist is like a magician that
uses his magic on a customer. And to use white or black magic is a
personal choice of everyone!
Can I ask if there are any negative parts of your job?
This job gives me an opportunity to help my parents. To help to my
friends. Maybe my tattoos make my customers more happy. All this
just shows me that my job has only positive parts!
How would you describe the current status of tattoos by the
general public in Israel?
Like in most countries on our planet, there are two types of people:
the first type sees a tattoo as self-expression and an art form and the
second type still associates tattoos with prison and criminal activity.
In this country, if you have a full sleeve, you can forget about working
in a bank!
Have you noticed any changes in the tattooing industry since
you started?
Now it’s a completely new world of tattoos! So many new and quality
brands on a stage of a tattoo world. New inks, new tattoo machines,
new aftercare stuff. These make our job easier. Now you are not
tattooing but painting on a skin.
Is there anything else you wish to say?
Don’t be afraid to express yourself with tattoos on your body. Always
listen to your artist for advice because our mission is to give you a
good tattoo. It’s a representation of us as artists too.
