IVAN.

OWNER/TATTOO ARTIST.

 

Owner of Bona Fide Tattoo. I’ve been tattooing since 2010, but my creative journey actually started in 2003 with graffiti. Over the years I’ve turned that passion for art into tattooing, where I always aim to create something unique together with my clients. I don’t stick to just one style, I love exploring different directions, but you’ll mostly find me working with black & grey realism, illustrative/anime designs, flowing ornamental designs and custom lettering Every tattoo is a collaboration and a story worth telling.

PELLE.

TATTOO ARTIST.

 

I've been tattooing with a lot of passion  since 2021. I specialize in surrealism, black & grey, and modern neo-tribal tattoos. My passion lies in blending technique, creativity, and genuine connection. Every tattoo is a collaboration between your story and my vision. Whether you come with a clear idea or an open mind, we create something truly unique. The result is art that’s both beautiful and deeply meaningful.

JENN.

TATTOO ARTIST.

 

I’ve been tattooing for over ten years, focusing on fine line, mandala, and geometric designs with an elegant, intuitive approach. My work flows naturally with the body and carries a personal touch. Each tattoo is created with care, blending your story with a piece of my soul. I also love bringing animal portraits to life for variety and playfulness. The result is art that’s as meaningful as it is beautiful.
