About

Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother is a painter, I grew up around oil paints and canvases, watching her work. That early exposure shaped how I see things.

I started tattooing in 2018. My background in civil and industrial engineering gave me a different way to approach it. I designed tattoos in AutoCAD for the first two years. That training stuck. I still work with the same precision, this time on the human body.

My focus is fine line work. Clean, deliberate strokes that hold up whether they're two centimeters or twenty. I study how line weight, spacing, and negative space work together before I touch a needle to skin. The goal is a piece that reads as one cohesive flow, not separate elements sitting next to each other. Most of my work is abstract. Geometric relationships, overlapping planes, continuous lines built on proportion rather than realism.

Beyond tattooing, I've always been drawn to the intersection of technology and human experience. BiosignalX is where that interest lives. Using EEG to capture brain activity during meaningful memories and translating those patterns into visual designs. It's a different kind of precision, working with neural data instead of skin, but the same underlying principle: turning something invisible into something you can hold.

Eight years, four thousand tattoos, four countries. I'm based in Brussels now, engineering during the week and tattooing on weekends. My studio is a quiet space where I can focus. Each session has its own rhythm, and I think that comes through in the work.
