Born in  Pskov  in 1987, I live and work in Berlin since 2019.

I graduated in 2011 with a Master of Fine Arts from the St. Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design and attended Contemporary Art program in Pro Arte Foundation in 2010-2011.

Self-taught tattooist, I started to practice in 2012 and I tattoo professionally since 2014. Opened my own space SPC1L in Berlin in 2021.

Being self-taught as a tattooist gave me the freedom to develop my own visual vocabulary without industry conventions holding me back.

My classical art education taught me the rules - composition, proportion, balance. Constant drawing practice and fourteen years of tattooing taught me when and how to break them.
