Nick “Laz” Lazaris, a renowned tattoo artist from Adelaide, Australia, has been leaving his mark on the tattoo world for over two decades. With a career that began in the early 2000s, Laz\u2019s journey into tattooing is a testament to his passion for art, determination, and constant growth as an artist.<\/p>

From a young age, Laz was immersed in the worlds of heavy metal and punk rock, and it was through these musical genres that he first encountered tattoo artists like Paul Booth and Bob Tyrell, whose works adorned the bodies of some of his favorite bands. This connection between music and tattoos sparked Laz\u2019s curiosity and set him on the path to becoming a tattoo artist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although none of his family members were involved in the arts, Laz exhibited a natural ability for drawing from an early age. His love for art grew as he got older, and at just 15, he got his first tattoo\u2014during a time when tattoos were still considered rare. To avoid being asked for ID, Laz even grew a goatee, an early sign of his dedication to the art form. This marked the beginning of an obsession with tattoos, one that led him to collect tattoo magazines and dream of becoming an artist himself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When Laz turned 18, he began seeking an apprenticeship in Sydney, where he was living at the time. After facing rejection a few times, he finally got his break when he was 20. A tattoo shop near his home offered him an apprenticeship after he spent enough time in the shop, getting to know the artists. This was the moment that set his career into motion, and from there, Laz\u2019s journey as a tattoo artist took off.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

However, Laz\u2019s path to mastering tattooing was not without its challenges. While he was a skilled artist, the mechanical side of tattooing proved difficult for him. His apprenticeship was traditional, with Laz spending the first two years of his training preparing the studio, cleaning, and watching the experienced artists work. Unlike some modern apprentices who pick up the craft quickly, Laz took his time to master both the technical and artistic aspects of tattooing. He admits that line work, in particular, was a challenge. Having always focused on realism in his artwork, which doesn\u2019t rely heavily on lines, Laz found outlining to be a skill he had to work on extensively before he felt comfortable with it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Despite the struggles, Laz\u2019s passion for tattooing has remained unwavering. Over the years, he has become known for his black and grey realism tattoos. From portraits and pets to Spartan warriors and other intricate designs, Laz\u2019s ability to bring his subjects to life with shading and contrast has made him a sought-after artist. His process for creating these tattoos has evolved, and today, he uses Procreate to design and visualize his pieces. By superimposing his designs onto photos of the area where he\u2019ll be working, Laz ensures his clients know exactly what to expect before the needle ever touches their skin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For Laz, the most satisfying part of tattooing is the application itself. He enjoys the bond that forms between artist and client during the process and takes great pride in his craftsmanship. It\u2019s this connection, combined with his dedication to improving each day, that keeps him motivated to push the boundaries of his artistry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When asked how he continues to evolve as an artist, Laz emphasizes the importance of staying inspired by others and keeping up with industry trends.
