In this issue #191, we have the honor of presenting in an exclusive interview with this tattoo master.
Boris, a pioneer of realistic tattooing since the 1990s, has been recognized as a contemporary artist by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome (MACRO) and has closely collaborated with leading tattoo industry manufacturers.
His dedication to teaching and his influence on the development of modern techniques have left a lasting mark on the art of tattooing.
Since the 1990s, he has been sharing his knowledge about the evolution of tattooing as an art form, teaching at his studio and speaking at the first international series of seminars, the World Tattoo Conference, held in Rome, Chicago, and London.
After a long series of seminars and workshops, he began organizing his own conferences at his studio in Vienna, which were later distributed in film format and gained great popularity.
Boris felt that short seminars and workshops could only convey a limited part of his experience. From this need, the idea of creating a complete and comprehensive resource was born. Thus, over a year and a half, he developed a website that documents and shares all the knowledge he has accumulated over the past 26 years.
He has also served as a jury member for our international competition, bringing his expert perspective and unparalleled career to the event.
Also in this edition: we introduce .volkov.tattoo from Turkey with his striking realism, showcasing his art from New York, and .tattoo exploring tattooing from North Carolina.

This edition is available in both print and digital formats via Amazon and major bookstores worldwide.
