How long have you been a tattoo artist?<br />
I have been tattooing for 6 years.<br />
Do you remember the first tattoo that you ever done?<br />
My first tattoo that has started everything was a portrait of a<br />
tiger that I have done on myself, which back then I kind of<br />
though it looked like a tiger.<br />
How would you describe your tattooing style?<br />
The style I do is surrealism and realism but my favourite<br />
tattoos are dark tattoos with a lot of blood and pain.<br />
Where is the most difficult place for you to tattoo someone?<br />
The places that I dislike tattooing will have to be neck and<br />
ribs.<br />
Do you have any tatts? How many?<br />
I have never counted my tattoo’s but majority of them has<br />
some sort of meaning to me and currently I am collecting<br />
tattoos of friends that also tattoo and there amazing style<br />
like Tofi Torfinski.<br />
Did you do any of them yourself?<br />
Yes, I have done around 7 tattoo’s on myself but for me<br />
Should drunk people get inked?<br />
If we’re talking about people that are drunk or people that<br />
are under some drug, I am absolutely against tattooing them<br />
because in today’s world a tattoo is Art on skin instead of on<br />
a canvas<br />
What is the most bizarre tattoo you have ever put on someone?<br />
Some other weird tattoo’s I have done are angel wings near<br />
the private parts on a woman.<br />
What tattoo artists, if any, do you draw inspiration from?<br />
The 2 of the people I look up to are Bob Tyrell and Nikko<br />
Hurtado.<br />
What’s the secret to being a great tattoo artist?<br />
Getting satisfaction in what you do it’s not the money that<br />
play a big part it’s the motivation and trying to become the<br />
best and not stopping until I get there,<br />
Who is your favorite tattoo artist?<br />
Depending on the style id have to say black and grey Bob<br />
Tyrrell and colour it would have to be Nikko Hurtado or<br />
Steve Butcher.<br />
Henry Sieranski<br />
I’d much rather test something out on yourself then your<br />
customer.<br />
Do you let your friends tatt you up up for practice?<br />
The 2 people that have practice on my skin are the 2 most<br />
important people in my life, my older son who has tattooed<br />
our Siberian Husky in a geometric style, and my younger<br />
son who has tattooed me twice... once ,when he was 5,<br />
where he tattooed Sponge Bob on my leg. And also at the<br />
age of 12, where he tattooed my old tattoo studio logo.<br />
What is your craziest story?<br />
Hmmn... there are a couple of crazy stories ,but the one that<br />
I will never forget is a customer wanting a Nike logo on his<br />
hand so he could get a discount from Nike.<br />
Words of advice for anyone that wants to become a tattoo<br />
artist?<br />
My biggest tip for the people that have just started tattooing<br />
or planning of becoming a tattoo artist is practicing your<br />
drawings and paintings, it will definitely help you build the<br />
skill you need, I personally never looked at tattooing as a<br />
job but a hobby and doing something I enjoy for a living.<br />
Where can we get inked by you and see more of your work?<br />
You can see me in person or even see more of my work at<br />
Tattoo Conventions mainly around Europe or even at Cool<br />
Creations Tattoo Studio in Birmingham and Liverpool or<br />
even Social Media, Facebook, Instagram @Henry Viper<br />
