Mike was born in Stockholm to a Latvian mother but grew up in V\u00e4ster\u00e5s to where he has gone back after a while away. If you can\u2019t pass by V\u00e4ster\u00e5s to get tattooed by him you can always find him on either Stockholm Ink Bash or Ume\u00e5 Tattoo Fest.<\/h1>\n

Today Mike works at Royal Arch Tattoo in V\u00e4ster\u00e5s and before that he ran the shop Karma Tattoo in Str\u00f6mstad for six years. As a teenager he and his friends used to build their own machines using Sony Walkman motors and syringes attached to a spion. They ran on 9V batteries and even though the machines didn\u2019t turn out awesome the passion for tattooing grew steadily from there.<\/p>\n

He enjoys doing black and gray motifs with a lot of texture, especially fur.
\n-Some would probably call it realism.
\nHis best tattoo memories are all of the times he\u2019s had happy clients, all of the laughs and all of the joy which comes from creating someones tattoo are the best memories.
\n-I\u2019m living in those memories together with all of my clients and fellow tattoo artists as we speak.<\/p>\n

The best part of being a tattoo artist according to Mike is being able to be a free spirit, to be one with creativity and do what he wants to do.<\/p>\n

He believes most tattoo artists has someone to look up to and be inspired by, this is true also for him, he finds a lot of inspiration and creativity in and from his kids, he also says that Instagram is great for this, new artist show up every day and he uses this as a tool to connect with other artists around the world.<\/p>\n

Lastly I ask Mike if there is any one tattoo artist he\u2019d like to read about on Swedish Tattoo Society to which he answered that V\u00e4ster\u00e5s has a lot of great artists to offer. -You could interview anyone from here, like Johanna or Jayjay at Bluebird or my colleague Frej Lind.
\nThank you Minke for being a part of Swedish Tattoo Society!<\/p>\n
