When I became eighteen years old, I started been involved with music professionally, as a DJ in clubs and also more private circles. My tattoos are influenced by my musical preferences as well as from my lifestyle. The Ganesha, the Aum, the Hindi and the Mandala on my chest are characteristics of the Hindu and the Asian culture in general, but also directly connected to the trance scene. I think that my most impressive tattoo is the Geisha. George started her in January 2012 and was completed five months later. I had never imagined the result of the rabbit from the "Alice in Wonderland " tale. The reason why is that I always give George the initial idea and then he has the freedom to implement it the way that he thinks it will attribute better. The result does absolutely justice to us and fills me with joy!
