CASTOR - TATTOO ARTIST

ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND THE TATTOOS:

I studied Art (Major: Graphics) at the "Octav Bancila" High-School (1990-1994), in my hometown, and then I continued my studies at "George Enescu" Belle-Art University (1994-1999) in Iasi. I graduated in 1999, with a Bachelor's Degree in Tattoos! In 1995-1996 I started to dedicate my artistic efforts exclusively to the art & style of tattooing!

In December of 2002 I was on my way from Romania to Portugal, to honor a contract with the "El Diablo" Studio! Now, I work for Queen of Hearts Studios (www.myspace.com/queen_of_hearts_tattoos), in Barreiro.
In the last five years (since I have relocated to Portugal) I won already a lots of prizes in Portugal (at Lisbon International Tattoo Convention) and in the European International Tattoo Conventions such as in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Castellon and Geneva, Sibiu-Romania!

Most of the time I can be found at two shops.

and Clean Solid Tattoos in waalwijk, holland: +31 (0)416 343 388 +31 (0)416 343 388 .

i do conventions and i work a lot of guest spots all over so please check my blog and my calender for all the places and dates i will be working in the near future. chances are i will be in a theater near u sometime soon.
i do tattoos, i paint some. don't do smoke, liquor, meat, fish and/or drugs. i am living the dream.

i do something i love, and then try to spend as much time with my small family of four as i can. if i was a party animal i'd be a grinch. but it's a charmed life and i am a happy guy most the time.

feel free to hit me up if want to get work from me and or buy some ignorant tattoo art.

here's my website (not sure what for) and flickr photolog (for a much more complete portfolio of my work), enjoy...
