10 years

10 years. 3 countries. And one absolutely crazy weekend in Sofia. 🖤 Riikka and Guido first met at the Tattoo Convention in Hämeenlinna, Finland, back in 2016 – followed by another session in Finland in 2017 and the Tattoo Convention in Marmaris in 2019. This year marks 10 years of tattooing together, and Riikka joined us once again – this time in Sofia, Bulgaria. 🇧🇬 Two days, a full back piece, a cover-up and around 15–16 hours under the needle later… this is where we ended up. 🖤❤️ And after ALL of that: swipe to the last slide and look at her f***ing smiling. 😂 Riikka, you’re an absolute machine. Thank you for your trust, your loyalty and for doing this crazy journey with us for 10 years. 🖤 Sofia – you were a blast. Thanks! By the way: this back piece isn’t finished yet – even if it might look like it. 😉 We’re already looking forward to seeing Riikka again in Venice this November. 🖤 #tattooartist #backpiece #coveruptattoo #tattooconvention #blackandredtattoo
