Artist Ivar Treskon- With a fine arts background Iva is a classically trained professional tattoo artist with over 20 years of industry experience.
I was doing the fine arts and gallery thing which was fun , and still is.. Then the Ch-ch earthquakes happened. There weren’t any walls left in Chch to hang a painting on for a while there… So I started tattooing.. And I fell in love with it!!
THERE IS ONLY ONE THING MORE IMPORTANT THEN AN EPIC TATTOO!
