I grew up in Siberia with my younger sister.  My dad is a small business owner and my mom a nurse.  I have been drawing since early childhood.  I had trouble finishing math and Russian language in high school due to what I later learned is dyslexia.  My grandma was so caring growing up and remains an inspiration to this today.  After college, I learned tattoos through a friend in Moscow.  I have been working on tattoos ever since.
