Meet the Artist

I’m Marcin Maliszewski — a custom tattoo artist in London specialising in colour realism, pop culture and character-driven work. Based in Chiswick and Kensington, West London, I’ve been creating custom tattoos since 2012 for clients who want something designed specifically for them — not picked off a flash sheet.

Over the years I’ve worked across realism, traditional, Japanese and abstract styles. That foundation shaped what I do now: Realistic Colour tattooing — a approach built on precise light and shadow, where every piece has its own mood and visual depth. My subjects come from film, comics, series and games, but the starting point is always your idea.

Outside the studio I run live digital painting sessions — pop culture portraits of characters like Tom Hardy or Uma Thurman — which you can follow on my socials.

My project MSKI explores a different side: traditional and neotraditional tattooing rooted in myths, legends and nature. If that interests you, get in touch directly.
