My name is Igor Sarkanice — I was born in Riga, Latvia, and have spent the past fifteen years perfecting my craft in tattooing. Today, Berlin is my workshop and home.
After a few years of learning the craft in different countries, in 2013 I settled in a small street shop in Berlin, where styles never stood still. That time taught me to value tradition over trends — to build designs meant not to age, but to mature with you.
Nice to meet you!
Over the years, travel has been my greatest teacher. Working across different countries and alongside master artists, I picked up methods and insights you rarely find in one place. It’s shaped the detail, flow, and intention behind every tattoo I create.

While some clients come from afar—curators, travelers, keen ones—I treat each person with the same quiet respect. Even in my neighborhood or my studio, I work with honesty, patience, and the belief that great tattoos are built from trust, not haste.
My aim is to craft pieces that are timeless, that move with your body, and carry a sense of integrity. If you’re drawn to something meaningful and lasting, it’d be a pleasure to hear your idea and make it yours.
