If you love detailed and colorful tattoos, you’re going to love Mikhail’s work. Even though you’ll often see his amazing black & grey pieces, color realism pieces are his signature.
He’s known to mix several tattoo styles to turn your blank canvas into unique and creative worlds. Sometimes he mixes surrealism with illustrations, other times he mixes Van Gogh’s starry night with psychedelic imagery. Sometimes he does a great Trash Polka, other times a realistic red rose. In this case, the images are worth way more than 1000 words.
He’s originally from Moscow but has been perfecting his tattoo career in New York at the First Class Tattoos. So let’s get to know him a little better and how he achieves these incredible results.
So Mikhail, what drew you to tattoos in the first place? And how old were you when you got your first one?
I have a love for art, and I’ve loved tattoo culture since high school. Tattoo culture was a bit taboo where I grew up.
