My initiation into the world of tattoo happened in 1992 when I got my first one. I was influenced by my older brother. After a few years I met my artist, Dimitris Aronis and one thing led to the other. I have many tattoos which means they can’t be counted… However I think I still have space on my body. I love them all. The one I distinguish above all is the dot heart on my chest. A heart that beats on my body belonging to a person I have lost.
