Varvara Romanchuk, a tattoo artist from Moscow, creates magnificent compositions with dragons and flowers that emphasize the strength and grace of the owners of these tattoos.
Varvara prefers large and voluminous images, which look especially impressive on the hips, arms and backs of girls. Of course, the style chosen by the tattoo artist first of all captivates girls – both the images of the dragons themselves, and the combination of black and pink colors, and, of course, delicate floral lines.
However, the tattoo artist herself can best tell about her portfolio.
– Hello Varvara! I am glad to introduce you to iNKPPL readers! Tell us a little about yourself: how did you become a tattoo artist? What style did you start learning and working in tattooing?
– I have been tattooing for 8 years. In my last year of high school, I got my first tattoo, and I realized that this is what I would like to do. I studied at the Art of Pain studio in St. Petersburg, and at first I did everything in a row, without a certain style. Then for a long time I tried to find myself in neotrad, and then unexpectedly came to graphic.
– Tell us about how the dragons took over your entire portfolio? What features of your work would you highlight? How did you come to the style you are working in now?
– For a long time I specialized in popular “girlish” tattoos, but I have always been interested in more complex plots. So, little by little, I began to add animals to the classic flower arrangements, then snakes and dragons. Dragons really liked my audience, and gradually replaced everything else. Then came the dragons, and then I started adding pink to my work. Probably affected by the fact that I started with colored tattoos.
– How was the idea of making tattoos for mothers born, depicting them with their children in the form of dragons? Is this your idea, or did the request come from your clients?
– At first, I generally wanted to draw a dragon egg with a baby, but then it seemed to me that it looked lonely. Initially, there was the idea of mum-protector, but she still turned out to be more cute than aggressive.
– Are your dragons chosen only by girls? Are there any men among your clients?
– Basically, of course, my audience is girls. Men are more likely to come only by recommendation and then I work with their ideas.
– Dragons and peonies – suggest that you are inspired by the culture of the East. Is it so? And where do you get your inspiration from?
– Rather not, my sketches are something between eastern dragons and dragons from the Game of Thrones. I am rather inspired by the very process of communicating with a person, I draw all my projects with freehand, and I create muzzles after a personal meeting with a client.
