Custom tattoos crafted with precision and passion. Every piece tells a story.
I’m Mario, a tattoo artist from Bucharest, Romania, focused on creating tattoos that feel personal, bold, and built to last.
My work is centered around Realism, Black & Grey, Fine Line, Wash, and Opaque Blackwork, with a strong focus on detail, contrast, composition, and making every piece work naturally with the body. Every tattoo I create starts with your idea and turns it into something unique to you. Whether it’s a meaningful piece, a full custom design, or a tattoo you simply want because you love the art, my goal is to make sure the final result feels like your tattoo, not something copied from someone else. I’m also available for guest spots internationally, working with studios and artists around the world.

Follow these steps to ensure your new tattoo heals properly and looks its best for years to come.
After your tattoo is finished, your artist will apply a protective film over the tattoo. Keep the film on for a maximum of 2 hours. Once you get home, carefully remove the film and wash the tattoo thoroughly using room-temperature water and Protex soap. Gently wash away any remaining residue or excess product from the skin. Pat the tattoo dry using clean kitchen paper towels. Do not rub the tattoo. Once completely dry, apply an extremely thin layer of aftercare cream — just enough for the tattoo to have a slight shine. Avoid applying too much product. Starting from the second day, repeat the washing, drying, and moisturizing process 2–3 times per day. After the 8th day, stop applying cream completely and allow the tattoo to continue healing naturally. Important * Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo. * Do not scratch, pick, or peel the tattoo while it heals. * Avoid applying thick layers of cream. * Keep the tattoo clean and avoid unnecessary contact with dirty surfaces.
How to Prevent Infection A fresh tattoo is healing skin, so keeping it clean and protected is essential. Follow these guidelines throughout the healing process: * Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo. * Keep the tattoo clean and follow the washing routine provided in your aftercare instructions. * Use clean paper towels to gently pat the tattoo dry. Never rub it. * Apply only a very thin layer of aftercare cream. Too much product can trap moisture and irritate the skin. * Do not scratch, pick, or peel the tattoo, even if it becomes itchy or starts to flake. * Avoid touching the tattoo unnecessarily. * Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, and natural bodies of water while the tattoo is healing. * Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or friction around the tattoo. * Keep clothing that touches the tattoo clean and loose-fitting. * Do not allow other people or pets to touch the healing tattoo. Watch for Signs of Infection Some redness, tenderness, swelling, itching, and mild peeling can be normal during healing. However, seek medical attention if you develop increasing redness or swelling, worsening pain, significant warmth, pus or foul-smelling discharge, red streaks spreading from the tattoo, or fever.
If your tattoo becomes infected, purchase Baneocin ointment from a pharmacy, or another antibiotic ointment recommended by a pharmacist or doctor. Apply the antibiotic ointment only to the infected area. For the rest of the tattoo, continue using your normal healing cream as instructed in the aftercare guide.
Keep your new tattoo out of direct sunlight for at least 2-3 weeks. Once healed, always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to keep colors vibrant.
