Welcome our special guest @ossianstarajtattoo to our first edition of @inkthe6ixtorontotattooexpo
Ossian started his art journey back in France through graffiti culture and discovered tattooing in his 20s inspired by legends of both worlds (graffiti and tattooing) from the US before to realize he will eventually even be more attracted to realism black and grey. After 10 years in the industry, he now strives to incorporate dark and rich backgrounds in his work to compliment the bright and detailed subject matter. His work can be best recognized by his highly contrasted large scale designs, his favorite subject matters are generally portraits, skulls, and statues interlaced with various elements like roses, thorns and smokes.

Hi! I’m @maks_aligator , a tattoo artist based in Toronto, originally from Ukraine.
I specialize in color realistic and surrealistic tattooing with a painterly approach — creating bright, emotional works, each carrying its own idea and mood.

I’ve been in the industry for over 7 years. I treat every tattoo as a painting, and every client as a co-creator. Together, we bring something unique and real to life.

I’ve won several awards here in Canada and I’m excited to be part of the first-ever @inkthe6ixtorontotattooexpo.

He opened his first studio in his native city in 1995 which operated until 2012 then was moved to Vienna in the same year. Boris belongs to those whose jobs are also their hobbies. He mainly works in fantasy and realistic styles of which boundaries he pushes with great curiosity; however, each day he likes to try different things out in various topics. He is responsive to new things, obviously keeping the boundaries as much as the skin is to provide. He very much appreciates customer request with meaningful content besides only physical appearing.
