„A man without tattoos is invisible to the Gods.”

My name is Piotr Szot and this is my story.

I was born in a small village in between forests and lakes, in one of the wildest areas in Poland. I moved out from my family house when I was 17 and I didn't stop travelling ever since. After I hitchhiked most of Europe I decided to travel to India. That totally changed my life. I stop drinking and partying like crazy. I learned yoga, meditation and started healthy, balanced life. Later I crossed my path with different Teacher Plants like Ayahuasca or Magic Mushrooms. My obsession with shamanism and Fractals began:) Nature and altered states of consciousness are my main sources of inspirations. Seven years ago, together with my beautiful wife and 2 kids I moved to magical Izery Mountains- place in between the Land of extinct volcanoes and the valley of Palaces and Gardens. Forgotten land full of wild nature, where the time stops and the crystals grows under our feet. Here I created the place, that I can finally call home. I'm growing my roots, joining the community of amazing, open minded people. I live simple. Creating art, spending time with my family and friends, hiking, biking, dancing, singing, playing music, and just trying to live good, healthy life. All surrounded by outstanding wild nature. I don't need any fancy modern symbols of status. My freedom is the most important and the most precious to me. Now I'm tattooing in my studio close to my own tiny home on the top of the hill. I can't imagine coming back to the city or living any other life. I graduated the High School of Art in Olsztyn, and Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, both in Poland, where I got a degree in Graphic Design with a specialization – Illustration. During seven years spent on studying art, I was engaged in all kinds of visual arts: sculpture, graphic design, 3D, video, design, painting, drawing etc. During my first year of studies, I was professionally engaged in illustration. For over four years, I was making illustrations for book covers, RPG handbooks, magazines and card games. Then I found Tattooing. Or rather it found me. Then everything has changed. Tattoos always fascinated me, especially their primitive, tribal, ritual aspect. In my works I like to combine ethnic vibe with crazy fractals, modern graphic design and plant kingdom motives together in one psychedelic, unexpected composition. After 15 years of hard work, I got to the point, where I'm privileged that I get to chose my clients. I'm so grateful that so many beautiful souls from all over the world, are willing to travel even from different continents to wear my art. Thank you. I invite you to my world:)
