Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexey Boyko
Hi Alexey, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am a native of Russia whose passion for tattoo emerged at a very young
age. The first tattoo I created was graphic for one of my friends and the result was so astonishing that i started working on developing my skills and equipment to create high-quality tattoos within minimal time.
Throughout the years, I developed my own Tattoo style. I was inspired by
northern folklore and traditions, Yakut and Norwegian motifs prevail. And at the moment there are no masters who can repeat the specifics and ideas, so my tattoos and art in general can be called unique. I call my style “ornamental”.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The path would be very thorny. But never once have I heard of a person overcoming all obstacles with ease. There will always be ups and downs. The most important thing is not to give up.
It wasn’t an easy process. I didn’t know for a long time what exactly I wanted to do, what style would be a part of me.
I did all styles from old-school to realism and only after 5 years of tattooing I realized that ornaments inspired by my hometown were the way to go!
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am tattoo artist from Siberia, have gained a reputation for
creating unique and stunning tattoos that blend different elements together. I am combined what i consider to be folk ornaments from where I come from with
something different. I am inspired by Scandinavian culture, featuring elements. However, I am inspired by the north. I was born and raised in a very
cold and harsh place, so I am imbued with folk ornaments and culture, which is a national treasure there.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
My hometown is my point of inspiration for my art. And I can share my creativity and discover new horizons in your city.
