Born in Greece to a Belgian mother and a Kiwi father, I was pretty much destined to travel. I spent a big chunk of my life in Belgium, where I studied 3D animation and digital texturing, earning my bachelor's degree.

In 2012, feeling completely unfulfilled, I noticed an old tattoo on my back—one I’d forgotten I even had. I looked at it and thought, Huh… I bet I can do better. So, I packed up, sold my stuff, and headed to Australia with nothing but a backpack and the dream of becoming a tattoo artist.

It wasn’t easy. For a year, I bounced between staying in backpacker hostels when I had money and public restrooms when I didn’t. But eventually, I found a studio willing to take me in, and that’s where I learned the basics.

By 2017, I had my own private studio in Noosa, on the Sunshine Coast. That experience opened my eyes to the industry in ways I never expected. But what was meant to be a two-year adventure had stretched into seven, and the call of home was getting too loud to ignore. So, with my family, I finally made the move to New Zealand.

Less than 24 hours after stepping off the plane, I found a place to continue my craft. In the heart of Tauranga, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside incredible artists and great friends, constantly pushing my art further.

My Work

I specialize in realism—both black and gray and color—but I also love exploring textures and letting my instincts take over. Lately, I’ve been developing my own personal style, a mix of sketch and ink work that’s raw, expressive, and completely unique.

I take a lot of pride in getting to know my clients before putting ink to skin. A tattoo isn’t just about the art—it’s about the person wearing it. During our consultation, I focus on understanding what my clients truly want, so together, we can create something meaningful and one-of-a-kind.
