    George Bardadim, tattoo artist

    George is a highly respected figure in the tattoo industry, known for his innovative methods and dedication to his craft. As one of the founders of the Association of Professional Tattoo Artists in Russia, he has been involved in numerous projects such as book publishing, charity auctions, exhibitions, and tattoo conventions. His work has been featured in professional tattoo magazines, earning him recognition and respect from his peers.


    Born in Russia, George began his tattooing journey at the young age of 17, using a primitive method with a sewing needle and thread. Over the years, he honed his skills and in 1988, he built his first tattoo machine using unconventional materials like a 'Sputnik' spring-powered shaver and a sharpened guitar string. This marked the beginning of his successful career in the industry.


    In 1995, George collaborated with his friend Taras to create rotary tattoo machines using custom-made parts, showcasing his passion for innovation and craftsmanship. After working in his private tattoo studio for a few years, he began traveling internationally in 1999, guest artisting at top European and NYC tattoo shops and participating in major tattoo events around the world.


    George's creativity extended to creating tattoo flash designs in the late 90s, some of which have been published as eBooks. In 2003, he played a key role in establishing the Association of Professional Tattoo Artists in Russia and continues to contribute as a member of its Art Council. Since 2018, George and his wife Yana have operated their own successful tattoo studio in Brooklyn, NY, where they continue to produce high-quality work and inspire others in the industry.

Style

  • Irezumi ONLY

    IREZUMI, also known as Horimono or Wabori, is a traditional Japanese style of tattooing that literally translates to 'insertion of black ink'. With our full respect to Japanese tattoo traditions, George works only in this style, which is slightly re-imagined according to modern technical and stylistic aspects.

  • Custom work only

    George specializes in crafting custom designs that are unique to each customer, ensuring that no hieroglyphs or written text are included in our tattoos.Instead, we focus on creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces that speak to the individual's personality, interests, and style.

  • NO Copies

    At our studio, we believe in creating unique and original tattoos that reflect our clients' individuality. We never copy existing designs and strictly prohibit replicating other people's tattoos. Instead, we use photos as inspiration to craft one-of-a-kind pieces that are tailored to our clients' preferences.
