About me

Can you get to know someone by reading their biography on their website? Probably not. It’s just a bunches of praises and accolades written by the authors about themselves.

You’d probably get a better idea of who the artist is based on their work, reputation, and style. In that case, check out the gallery section of this website.

But if you’re still wondering who Agu is… well, I’m many things. Besides being a tattoo artist and illustrator, I’m also a former clinical psychologist, photography enthusiast, metalhead, nature lover, amateur chef, animal lover, husband, and father… just to name a few.

So here’s the official part. I was born in Romania and now live in Estepona, province of Málaga, Spain. I did my first tattoo in 2009 and started tattooing full-time in 2010. Self-taught, I strive for creative, dynamic, and bold work. My passion for tattooing covers a wide variety of styles, but I specialize in Blackwork/Oriental Noir, a unique style that combines traditional and oriental themes with decorative, geometric, and neo-tribal elements, creating timeless, bold, and innovative designs. Through my art, I want to create fascinating designs that not only adorn but also celebrate the natural beauty of the human body.

I work by appointment only, so I like to have a conversation with the person getting tattooed to explain my thoughts on the design, establish the size and placement of the tattoo, followed by a sketch, and then execute the tattoo.

But to get a better idea of what Agu’s tattoo and illustration art is all about, send me a message or, preferably… schedule an appointment. You’ll get to know me a little better while spending a few hours getting tattooed. And it will be much more fun than reading this biography.

Join me on this artistic journey and let’s bring your vision to life!
