interview with Szymon Wrozyna

  Hello Szymon Wrozyna! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview. Please start by telling us something about yourself. When did you start tattooing? I started around 8 years ago, after 6 months tattooing at home I got into one of the oldest shop in Silesia „Sauron Tattoo” where the owner taught me all the basics.

Q: What type of art do you like the most?
A: Nothing specific, I like everything that inspire me. From painting to sculpture.

Q: You have beautiful black and gray style. Is this your creative direction?
A: Thank you. Yes I think that’s my thing. I love doing black and gray tattoos. When I started tattooing, I was doing only color tattoos, it was much easier for me at that time, but every time when I saw someone's works in black and gray, my reaction was “wow I want to do that”. My adventure with black and gray started around 3 years ago. From this moment I prefer black and gray tattooing.

Q: While doing portraits, what details take more time ?
A: I think the hardest part is to catch the spark that represent each person, so you need be focused 100%. I think that’s why I like to do them so much.

Q: Do you have any favorite body parts to tattoo?
A: Oh yes, forearm is my favorite place that’s for sure. If I could tattooing only this place, that will make my days better. haha

Q: Are you willing to do cover ups?
A: With cover ups it’s more difficult. If it’s something small then I can do it, but with something bigger it’s more complicated. I’m using quite a lot of skin tones, so I think my stuff are not the best for big cover ups.

 

Q: International talent can be very inspiring, how often do you visit tattoo conventions?
A: I do quite a lot off quest spots, once a month I try to go somewhere. With conventions is a different story. They are usually on the weekends and I prefer to spend time with my family. They are the most important, but I have few conventions that I want to go.

Q: Your advice for those wiling to start tattooing?
A: Keep being focused, don’t rush and never give up.
