Leaving a Mark: The Art and Emotion Behind Every Tattoo
Tattooing is such a personal and intimate process for both me and the person getting the tattoo. Every time I start a new piece, it’s not just about putting ink on skin—it’s about creating something that will be a part of that person forever. There’s a lot of trust involved, and that connection is something I don’t take lightly.
From the initial design to the moment the needle touches the skin, it’s all about collaboration. I always make sure the design is something that speaks to the person, something that they’re excited about. The energy during a session is a mix of focus, anticipation, and a bit of adrenaline. Even though it can be a bit nerve-wracking, I love seeing people’s reactions as the tattoo starts to come together. It’s like watching an idea or a feeling transform into something permanent and tangible.
Some people come in with very clear ideas of what they want, while others are more open to experimentation. Either way, I try to capture a part of their story or personality in every tattoo. For me, it’s not just about the final product—it’s about the experience we share during the process. The conversations, the laughter, sometimes the nerves—all of it adds to the memory that the tattoo will carry.
When the tattoo is done and they finally see it, there’s this moment of realization, like, “Wow, this is really a part of me now.” That’s one of my favorite parts—seeing their reaction, knowing that I’ve helped them create something meaningful. It’s a feeling of accomplishment, both for them and for me.
In the end, every tattoo I do is a little piece of art, but it’s also a mark of that specific moment in someone’s life. And being able to contribute to that, to leave that mark, is what keeps me inspired as an artist.
