Stix (Artyom Bychkov) is coming to Eden and we are so excited!
He grew up in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, surrounded by his grandfather’s canvases and paints. He got his first tattoo at 15, started tattooing at 16, and opened his own small studio at 17. Since then he’s tattooed across India, Turkey and beyond, and picked up more than 20 convention awards along the way.
He calls his style Dark Cinematic Realism: realistic detail, dark atmosphere, and compositions that flow with the body so the tattoo feels alive.
Stix loves to tattoo:
-Emotional, hyperrealistic portraits
-Cinematic religious compositions
-Dark art and fantasy concepts
-Statues and animals
-Realism mixed with calligraphy
-Large scale sleeves, back pieces and leg projects
-Technically challenging cover ups
Before he designs anything, he gets to know the person: their energy, their story, and what they want to feel every time they look at it. If you want something bold, unforgettable and deeply personal, he’s your artist.
