She never thought about tattoos. She became interested in tattooing after the session where she was an observer. Now, Saltanat has been working in the tattoo industry for almost three years. She prefers to work in the style of minimalism, linework, graphics, and sketch. Interesting fact is that she creates sketches of flowers individually for each client.

It all started with the usual drawings on the arm. Then he realized that he wanted to become a tattoo master. In 2014, he won a tablet at the Red Bull Doodle Art contest, which he exchanged for the first tattoo machine. Now he practices the Japanese style of tattooing. However,he think that it is hard to be so exact style tattooer at early age and it is needed time to get through it.

Annie, @yoann.ink
As early as age 13 being tattoo artist had become her dream. Shortly after, at the age of 16 she started her professional journey. She chose the road “less travelled by”, and found her life is calling. She believes tattooing is a form of artistic self-expression. Her main styles of work are fine line minimalism and micro realism. In the future, she sees herself as a traveling tattoo artist.
