EmRo. Realism & surrealism tattoo artist based in Winterthur, Switzerland. Expressive portraits, faces, and pieces built around who you are.
I don't want to put my style on you. I want to find the piece that feels like it was always meant to be yours.
Tattooing, for me, starts long before the needle touches the skin. It starts with understanding the person, the idea, the emotion behind it — and finding a way to turn that into something visual.
Born in Moldova, based in Winterthur. Fifteen years into a practice built on realism and surrealism — portraits, faces, strong contrast, unexpected detail. I'm not chasing a repeatable formula; I want work that belongs to the person wearing it.
There's no catalogue to pick from. We start with your idea, references and placement, and I build the composition around your body — with room for it to evolve along the way.
A session is a collaboration. I'll ask questions and push back when there's a stronger direction. You bring the story; I bring the experience and the eye. The goal is a piece that couldn't belong to anyone else.
A running collection of recent pieces — realism, portraits, and the occasional surreal detour.
