"Music and art are the common language that can overcome political and social boundaries." (Karl Valentine)

 

Even as a little boy at school, I was constantly scribbling all over my workbooks and sheets of paper until the teachers told me not to. Then I started painting my arms. At the age of 14 I got into the hip-hop scene through breakdancing and learned the art of graffiti. I didn't get into tattooing until 13 years later, when a friend from Belgrade came to me and tattooed friends of mine here. One day she asked me if I would like to get her a tattoo. From that moment on it hit me! My first tattoo gave me such a satisfying feeling that I knew this was my future. I met Dado through a tattoo convention, and a few months later he took me into his studio and trained me. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to learn from Dado!
