About Dragos Calmuc, the tattoo artist

I grew up in Romania, in a small mountain town surrounded by nature, and from an early age I felt a deep fascination for the visual arts.

 

My parents enrolled me drawing classes when I was very young and since then, I’ve never stopped drawing, studying anatomy, exploring techniques, and learning everything I could about how images and ideas take shape.

 

My interest in geometry and natural forms led me to study architecture, where I developed a structural way of seeing and understanding art and the world. Later, my work as a graphic designer refined my sense of visual balance, composition, and harmony. All these come together perfectly in my work as tattoo artist.

 

Ten years have passed since I began tattooing, and I’m still amazed that every day I have the privilege of meeting remarkable people who share their stories with me. I’m grateful for the trust they place in my creative process, allowing me to bring together all the skills I’ve gathered over the years and transform their ideas into designs that become a part of them wherever life takes them.

After a decade of working and growing as artist in Romania, where I built my own studio and a team of six, taught tattooing classes to over 100 people, and developed my own style and portfolio, I moved to Amsterdam, where I am currently based. I sometimes travel to other countries for work, so keep an eye on my pages to see where we can meet. Feel free to reach out, share your story and ideas, and together we’ll transform them into a personalized, one-of-a-kind tattoo.

Grateful to be on this journey with you!
