Hi!  My name is Rali!
 

(actually it isn't, but the longer Eastern European version is only good for scrabble, so yeah, call me "Rali", or "your friendly babushka tattoo artist")

I'm a double graduate in 2D and 3D Animation with several years of experience in the industry.

​

(i.e. I drew so much I ended up with two degrees and then proceeded to make cartoons from 9 to 5)

 

I have always bathed in the world of illustration and animation, passionate about both drawing and tattooing, especially drawn towards the Trash Polka style.

 

In 2016, I was noticed by an experienced tattoo artist in that particular style, became his apprentice and adopted my name Ralkinz. Shortly afterwards, I left the world of animation to pursue my passion for the art of tattooing and joined one of the biggest Montreal tattoo studios.

​

(...and found that humans and ink make me way more happier)

​

In 2018, I decided to expand my horizons and pursued my career in a more private, creative-friendly and professional environment and founded XYZ Private Tattoo Studio here in Montreal, Canada.

​

My style is characterized by graphic black and red hand-drawn designs with a touch of an ink feeling. I love a wide range of subjects such as animals, floral, geek culture, woman faces, architecture, abstract and many more.

​

Overall, I draw a lot, laugh a lot and drink way too much tea.

(also, English is my third language and my brain is equally confused in all of them)

​

And that's my dog. I love my dog.
