Welcome to my Black&Red world!
My name is Alexander, and I’m a licensed tattoo artist based in Boston.
I moved to the U.S. fairly recently — in April 2025. Coming here had been a longtime dream of mine. I’m originally from Russia, and living and working in a more developed country with a healthier social atmosphere became a major goal for me. Now I’m settling into my new home and learning English, but I’m already loving a lot about this place.
I started tattooing during the height of the COVID pandemic in 2019–2020. Because of that, my career never really had a “calm” phase — I was learning through trial and error from day one. To this day, I try to keep that mindset, since there’s still a lot for me to master in this craft. One of my current ambitions is to create more full leg tattoos and bodysuits, and eventually take part in a tattoo convention.
I have a family — my wife Liliia and our cat Felix. They support me in everything I do, even when things aren’t going perfectly. They’re also here in Boston now, of course.
I’m not the most outgoing person – this part was written under my wife’s gentle pressure. I’m officially the head of the family, but in practice, she’s the boss
Besides tattooing, I have a few hobbies: I love discovering new places and traveling. Beautiful cities and countries inspire and energize me. I also play a bit of guitar and a lot of video games (modded Skyrim is my guilty pleasure 🤪)
My favorite part of the job: creating original tattoo designs.
My least favorite part: running social media.
Looking forward to meeting you and creating something awesome together!
