- My first tattoo appeared when I was 14 years old. I lived back then in Kurgan, which is a dump, to be honest. I met some guys who were just sitting in a park and playing guitar. I hung out with them and through them I met a tattoo artist. He suggested I get something done. I was like, "Man, I'm 14 years old, what tattoos?" But he gave me some food for thought, and after a while I decided to get something done. In the end it was an ugly dragon and a hieroglyph underneath it. It was supposed to signify happiness or good luck or something. Anyway, it's not a fact that I didn't have the word "ass" written on it. In any case, I had already overlapped this drawing with another one.
It's hard to believe now, but my mother gave my first tattoo official permission. She had this policy at the time - let him do it, it would hurt, and he wouldn't do it anymore. But in reality it turned out that you got one tattoo and got hooked. It's like a drug. I got hooked, too. Sometimes I sit down and try to count how many there are, but every time I lose it somewhere after 30.

| The first signs from Star Wars, Rebel and Empire symbols appeared on my face first. First of all, I adore this saga, and secondly, I really wanted to do something on my face. Then there's the inscriptions "time", "youth" and the image of a scythe, although a lot of people actually think it's the number 7 or a question mark. The scythe is the flip side, the other end of life's journey, which should also be definitely remembered, because everything is not infinite. You have to remember that someday we will be gone and you have to make the most of what you want out of this life, otherwise you just might not make it. Time to me is a kind of currency. For everybody the currency is money, but I'm sure it can't always solve something if you don't have time in the first place. |
It was around the same time that the barbed wire on my forehead came into existence. A lot of people react to it like, "Dude, that's some kind of zonal theme." But for me it symbolizes the fact that my youth was spent in Kurgan. And I'm really glad I got out of that city. Because it's a hell of a hole. And everything that happened to me there is a hell of a lot. That is why the barbed wire symbolizes the plot of life and the city from which I was able to escape.

| "Youth" is a very important word for me. It's a key moment in your life's journey, because it's when you're young that you become who you are for the rest of your life. And you have to remember that it goes away very quickly. Then there was the spider. I actually stuffed it more for symmetry, although I've always had a fear of spiders. It's ridiculous. |
To this day, for my mom, every tattoo of mine is an endless question: "Why and when will it end?" But every time my mom starts lecturing me on what an asshole I am, my grandmother comes over and says, "Well, chick, let him do it, because the more you forbid it, the more you want to do it." She always approved of my body art.
Getting a tattoo on your face is a serious challenge - no matter where you show up, everyone pays attention to you. You catch a lot of stares all the time, both positive and negative. Every average person will try to hurt you in some way. Always. All the time. Eventually, everyone who has a tattoo on their face comes to a point where they ask themselves: either you deal with it and move on, or you say "No, I can't do that" and take it all down.
Right now I work at the best place in Yekaterinburg, which is Rockets comic book store. I love this job endlessly, I've been working there for a year and it's just some kind of magic. I can't think of a better place to work. A lot of people come in and see that I have a neck tattooed around my comic book neck, and that's where our conversation most often begins. So my tattoos have not been a problem for me in my work, they have, on the contrary - had the opposite effect. They separated everything unnecessary from me, where I would definitely be doing something I didn't want to do. I just realized that the employer who would want me would take me with a battered face.
