Ofelia Oferma

My adventure started with the purchase of a Chinese starter kit for 400PLN.... Soon after I found out that Buszi & Ponton Tattoo Studio was looking for an apprentice. I immediately submitted my portfolio and that's how I ended up at the studio. Initially I was there twice a week because I was also doing a degree in design. Eventually I was faced with the choice of continuing studying at the university or getting more involved in the life of the studio. The decision was difficult because I was only six months away from writing my bachelor's thesis. In the end, I believe that dropping out of school in lieu of a full-time job was the right decision.

The more I get into it, the harder I find it to define my style. What I create is a mixture of different styles, mainly based on color and contour, based on neo-traditional and new-school style. In the future, I would like my work simply to be known as Ophelia’s.

Animals play an important role in my life, before my life paths intertwined with the world of tattooing, I was to become a veterinarian. As for other interests: because of so many creative hobbies in which you can engage, I'm not in danger of being bored.

I think a lot of people start tattooing just because it's ‘cool'. But for those who are fond of it and want to dedicate themselves to this industry, I can wish them so much perseverance, persistence, confidence, non-stopping need to learn and grow, and incomprehensible amounts of humility.
