Though he originally earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in Product Design, he felt even during his studies that this wasn\u2019t the direction he wanted to pursue. \u201cMy fascination with tattoos started at a young age,\u201d Teej recalls. \u201cThe music and skateboarders I admired were heavily tattooed. It wasn\u2019t about the specific tattoos they had, but the aesthetic\u2014the rebellious nature of it all. The idea of taking control of your body and image really spoke to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His passion for tattooing was ignited when he got his first tattoo at 17. &#8220;From that moment, I knew this was something I would dedicate my life to,\u201d he says. What began as a personal interest eventually evolved into a thriving career as a tattoo artist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c800915 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"99402\" data-id=\"c800915\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-886f0c2\" data-eae-slider=\"39492\" data-id=\"886f0c2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-268e900 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"268e900\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Beginning of His Career in London<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e20cfd9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e20cfd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2014, Teej decided to take a leap and moved to London, where he secured a traditional tattoo apprenticeship under Henry Hate at Prick Tattoos in Shoreditch. \u201cIt was hard work,\u201d Teej recalls. \u201cI was the first one in and the last one out every day. I did whatever Henry asked, from cleaning the studio to running errands. It was a learning process, and I had to prove myself daily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This rigorous apprenticeship shaped Teej into the artist he is today. \u201cI wasn\u2019t allowed to touch the tattoo machine for the first six months,\u201d he explains. \u201cWhen I finally started, it was all about line work, which is the foundation of every tattoo. Before shading or coloring, you need to master the basics.\u201d Teej learned not only the technical aspects of tattooing but also the history and relevance of different styles over time.<\/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<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element

specialty: <strong>heavy blackwork<\/strong> en <strong>Full Black Tattoos<\/strong>. \u201cIn the early years, you want to try everything, but over time, I found my way with blackwork. It wasn\u2019t something I planned, but it came naturally. I always preferred working with black ink, and about five years ago, I started doing blackout tattoos. After posting my first blackout piece online, I quickly got more bookings, and it\u2019s grown organically ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teej\u2019s style is characterized by flowing patterns and a balance between bold blackwork and the body\u2019s natural forms. \u201cI always aim to create designs that fit with the client\u2019s body shape.
