I 'm from Hungary, I started tattooing in 2005.
I moved to Ireland in January 2009, got a job in Johnny Eagle’s newly opened studio on Eden Quay, Dublin. Johnny’s father (R.I.P.) opened the very first tattoo parlour in Ireland in the late sixties, it was an honor to work for Johnny Jr. He passed away in 2017. Johnny was as oldschool as it gets and he will always remain a true Irish tattoo legend.
After that I worked in Crazy Cats in Ballyfermot, then in the newly opened Ground & Pound in Tallaght. I learned and experienced a lot at these great places.
I opened Inner Self in Blackrock, Dublin in August 2012. The studio moved in June 2013 to the basement of Grafton Barbers which is only 2 minutes walk from the old place, right next to "Patrick's Row" and even closer to the sea.
The happiness, the freedom and the countless positive things I experiencing through and because of creating art on skin is amazing, especially in my own place.
My introduction wouldn’t be full without mentioning my friend and soulmate Joseph ("Joke"), Johnny Eagle, Eddie "The Bull" with the whole O Connor family and Aedo from Ballyfermot and my love Georgina. Without these great people I wouldn’t be here today and tattoo you :)
