ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND THE TATTOOS:
I studied Art (Major: Graphics) at the "Octav Bancila" High-School (1990-1994), in my hometown, and then I continued my studies at "George Enescu" Belle-Art University (1994-1999) in Iasi. I graduated in 1999, with a Bachelor's Degree in Tattoos! In 1995-1996 I started to dedicate my artistic efforts exclusively to the art & style of tattooing!
In December of 2002 I was on my way from Romania to Portugal, to honor a contract with the "El Diablo" Studio! Now, I work for Queen of Hearts Studios ( www.myspace.com/queen_of_hearts_tattoos ), in Barreiro.
In the last five years (since I have relocated to Portugal) I won already 9 prizes in Portugal (at Lisbon International Tattoo Convention) and 12 prizes in the European International Tattoo Conventions such as in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Castellon and Geneva!

ABOUT MY BAND GOD:
In 1993, together with my brother we made our first Grindcore Metal band named V.O.M.A. . In 1994 we changed the name (and the style of the band) into GOD !
We played in Romania between 1994-2002, making 3 official albums, 3 demo tapes, a split EP and an official EP (the latest release being recorded in Portugal in 2006)
In all, we did more then 100 concerts both in Romania and Portugal, and we are still one of the most popular Metal bands in Romania (being the second most selling band of all times in the Romanian Metal scene!).
