Daily Inspiration: Meet Oleksandr Moroz

Today we’d like to introduce you to Oleksandr Moroz

Hi Oleksandr , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Art has always been a part of my life since childhood. During my school years, I was searching for answers to my biggest questions: what should I do with my life, how can I create art, make a living from it, and remain free? Freedom has always been one of my core values
One day, I came across a YouTube channel where guys were sharing their experiences in the tattoo industry. Their stories, lifestyle, and creative approach inspired me deeply. I realized then and there — this is the life I want for myself
After high school, I enrolled in university and temporarily forgot about my dream. While studying, I worked as a pastry chef, but over time, I realized that this wasn’t the life I wanted. It felt like routine, not passion. That’s when I remembered my dream of becoming a tattoo artist
That very day, I quit my job and decided to take action. I moved to Poland to save money for tattoo equipment, and from that moment, I started tattooing. That decision changed everything — I found my calling, something that brings me joy, freedom, and the ability to create

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Looking back, it might seem like my journey was easy, but that’s an illusion. The beginning was incredibly challenging, and I am endlessly grateful to my family, close friends, and everyone who supported me during that time
For the first year and a half, this work brought me no income, even though I worked almost every day. Around 70% of my tattoos were done for free to gain experience and build my portfolio. The remaining 30% barely covered the cost of supplies and allowed me to pay the rent for the space where I worked. I often had to borrow money for food and transportation
I often heard people telling me to give up tattooing and find a ‘normal,’ stable job. But I didn’t listen to them and kept pursuing my dream. Looking back now, I know I made the right choice

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am proud of the level of my work. My tattoos are characterized by incredibly high quality and meticulous detail, which, I believe, cannot be replicated by anyone in the world. This is the result of years of practice, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, and I am immensely proud of this achievement
I am also proud to have worked, and to continue working, in some of the best tattoo studios in the United States and Europe. This has not only allowed me to refine my craft but also to connect with clients from all over the world. People travel from across the globe to get this art on their skin — forever. For me, this is both an incredible honor and a great responsibility
What sets me apart from other artists? I approach each piece individually, creating not just a tattoo but a unique work of art that reflects the client’s personality. Every detail, every line matters to me because this is more than just work — it’s my contribution to eternal art

What’s next?
Of course, I have big plans for the future. I dream of creating a large art space where artists from different fields (not just tattoo artists) can share their creativity, grow, and simply be themselves. I want this to be a place for people with equally bold ideas and passions that inspire the creation of something new and beautiful. The project is still in progress, so I can’t share too many details yet, but it’s going to be something truly unique
I also want to travel more and explore the world. My dream is to work in every country, to immerse myself in its culture and spirit, and to enrich my creativity through these experiences. I believe that art knows no boundaries, and this journey will be a significant part of my growth as an artist and as a person
