Interview: Ákos Bánfalvi
Poltava, Ukraine born tattoo artist, Evgeniy
Goryachiy aka U-Gene started painting when
he was a child but he didn’t think about pursuing
this career path seriously. He went to Economic
University and later opened his own company.
Afterwards, he started tattooing 6 years ago and
the now Wroclaw, Poland located artist quickly
became a master in realistic tattooing.
What made you want to become a tattoo artist and
how long have you been tattooing?
When I went to make my first tattoo, the tattoo
artist saw my paintings and said, “you should try
tattooing,” so I tried and this is the beginning of a
long story.
What did your family and friends think about you
getting into the business?
My mum was really angry. (Laughs.) They didn’t like
this idea but I always went about things my way.
What was the first tattoo you ever did? Can you tell
us about it?
My first tattoo was tribal or something like that.
Tell us about your shop, Voice of Ink.
We opened the tattoo studio, Voice of Ink in
Wroclaw, Poland. It’s a great place with great
artists. We wanted to have a place where we
can feel like a family and where we can develop
ourselves.
Describe how you go about creating a tattoo from
concept to finished design, as well as how you try
to put your own unique touch on your tattoos.
It’s always something new for me. I create the
drawings the day before I tattoo. I always try to
make something new and unique so it takes me
some time.
