You asked
You asked, we delivered. Ever since we added the “Tattoo” category to Poznań Daily, the requests have been flooding in: “More shops, more artists, more ink!” Well, we hear you loud and clear. And this time, our journey took us straight to Inktoriam, a fresh face in the Poznań tattoo scene that’s already making waves un by Igor.
Word on the Street
Tucked away at Długa 10, in the heart of Poznań’s Old Town, Inktoriam opened its doors in mid-2024, and it’s been buzzing ever since. What makes it stand out? Well, first of all, it’s not just any ordinary tattoo shop—it’s a powerhouse of Eastern European talent, with artists hailing from Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. If you know anything about the tattoo world, you’ll know that these regions have some of the best realism artists on the planet.
Meet Igor
The man behind Inktoriam is Igor, a color realism specialist who took one of the most unexpected paths into the tattoo world. Believe it or not, Igor was originally an architectural technology specialist, meaning he was more used to drawing blueprints than tattoo designs. But fate had other plans.
It all started when a friend asked him to do a tattoo using a homemade machine—one of those classic “DIY” setups that every underground tattoo artist starts with. The result? His friends loved it. Word spread, and soon, more and more people were knocking on his door, asking him to ink them up.
What started as a side hustle quickly turned into a full-blown career, and before he knew it, Igor opened his first studio in Siberia—which, by the way, is still running strong to this day. Fast forward a few years, and now he’s bringing his talent to Poznań with a crew of four or five other artists, each rocking their own unique styles.
Inktoriam’s Got You Covered
While realism is their specialty, Inktoriam caters to all styles. Whether you’re into bold blackwork, intricate fine-line tattoos, traditional old-school designs, abstract pieces, Japanese Irezumi, or full-on biomechanical madness, they’ve got an artist for every vibe. If you walk in with an idea, chances are they can bring it to life, no matter how complex or minimalistic you want it.
