Interview with tattoo artist TSOIE

  Hello Tsoie! Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Please start by telling us something about yourself and what inspired you to start tattooing? Hello, my Name is Andrei Suciu, but everybody now me like Tsoie. I'm from Romania, my studio is located in Romania. I got the passion for tattooing about 9 year ago. I've been drawing since I was a kid.

Q: Was it hard to learn the tattoo process? Anyone helped you?
A: I was drawing a lot when I started tattooing, I asked a lot of people in the beggining, but not a lot of people helped. I think to "learn" tattooing, you need to work very hard and to push forward every day.

Q: What type of tattoos you used to do as a beginner? Do you laugh at them and wish you could re-do all? ?
A: Haha I deleted all photos from my computer. I see progress every day, if I don't see progress then there is a problem:)

Q: What type of mindset one should have in order to become successful?
A: My opinion is to find a good studio, who will give you the oportunity to start, after that... if you work hard, everything is possible.

Q: Some artists will do cover ups as a challenge, others will just reject the potential client... Do you do cover ups?
A: For now, I prefer to not do cover ups.

Q: I love your paintings. Is it just a hobby or you sale some of them?
A: Sometimes I paint (when I have some free time, haha) but never for sale, but in the end sometimes I sell them because people like them a lot.

Q: Any advice for the new artists?
A: Work hard and believe in yourself.
