People - Issue 12 - 13

Tattoo is a kind of worship for me, which started about seven years ago. I begun with something small in order to make two - three tattoos more, but I lost count on the way... I love Neo Traditional and Old School tattoos, but that doesn't mean that I don't like all the other styles. I like to see well-done tattoos, regardless of the content. I believe that tattoos carry elements of your nature, which may not be known to anyone. Of course there are some people that look at you in a weird wa y- others can think you are a "criminal" - but in any case this wouldn't make me think about stop filling the "canvas".  It has been a way of life for me and the family of Unicorn Tattoo (Tiffany, Giannis, Bill, Adonis, Gismo, Mente) where I work as a body piercer, contribute to it on a daily basis.
 
Alongside, I am also a professional athlete; I have been running on 800m and my highest achievement so fat was the 3rd place that I won in the Balkan Championship, which was held on February 2014, and fifteen countries participated.
