Zoli

I’m Zoli, a tattoo artist with over 13 years of experience, specialising in black and grey realism and detailed, large-scale custom pieces. I’m passionate about taking a client’s initial idea and transforming it into a unique design that works naturally with the body while creating a strong visual impact. I enjoy working closely with my clients throughout the creative process, developing their ideas into meaningful, carefully considered tattoos that they can be proud to wear for life. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a wide range of tattoo styles, giving me a versatile technical background and a deep understanding of different approaches to tattooing. However, black and grey realism is where I feel most at home, allowing me to focus on detail, depth, contrast, and creating artwork with a strong sense of realism. I’m always looking to refine my technique and continue developing as an artist, while maintaining a high standard of quality and craftsmanship in every piece I create. For me, tattooing is about more than just creating a great-looking tattoo. It’s about understanding each client’s vision, building trust, and creating a piece of art that feels personal, natural to the body, and timeless.

Questions & Answers

Questions & answers

Where are you from? I’m originally from Serbia, with Hungarian roots, and I’ve been living and working in the UK for many years.
How long have you been tattooing? When did you start? I’ve been tattooing for over 13 years. I started tattooing in 2013 and have been working professionally ever since.
What inspired you to become a tattoo artist? I’ve always been interested in art, drawing, and creating things visually. Tattooing gave me the opportunity to turn that passion into something permanent and meaningful, while constantly developing my skills as an artist.
What is your background? I have a strong background in professional tattooing and spent several years working in busy walk-in studios in Manchester city centre. That experience exposed me to a huge variety of clients, styles, and technical challenges, helping me become a versatile and adaptable artist.
What style do you specialise in? My main focus is black and grey realism. I particularly enjoy detailed realistic work, larger compositions, cover-ups, and reworks. I’m also comfortable working across a range of other styles when the project suits my approach.
What do you like to do in your spare time? Outside of tattooing, I’m interested in art, cars, 3D design, and travelling. I enjoy learning new creative and technical skills, particularly digital art and 3D modelling.
What’s your favourite kind of tattoo to do? Large-scale black and grey realism pieces are probably my favourite, especially projects where I have enough creative freedom to build a complete composition rather than simply reproduce a reference image. I also really enjoy challenging cover-ups and transformations.
What’s the coolest tattoo you’ve done? It’s hard to pick just one, but my favourite so far is a St George and the Dragon leg sleeve that I’m currently working on. It’s a large-scale, highly detailed piece, and I’ve spent around 50 hours on it so far. It’s still a work in progress, with plenty more to do. I have attached the profile picture and the images for the website here; can we please use the dragon as a cover?
