About me
Hi, there... My name is Max. I'm a Tattoo Artist from Ukraine now based in Berlin! I grew up inspired by early 2000s fantasy culture, always sketching characters and strange creatures. In 2016, I left graphic design behind and found the freedom to express myself through tattooing.My nickname Ohrwyrd comes from the German word “Ohrwurm” and suggests something heard, a trace of a sound that lingers. “Wyrd” is an old English word for fate. Together, it represents the idea that certain thoughts stay with us and quietly shape the direction we move in.

My style
My art is inspired by dark fantasy and eerie lore. That world has a heavy, quiet atmosphere that I wanted to capture in my own visual language.
Building that atmosphere on skin requires strong contrast, which is why my style relies on sharp lines, heavy solid blacks, and grainy dotwork, laid out with a traditional patchwork feel. Since I'm always experimenting with new ideas, my approach stays open and keeps evolving over time.I also focus a lot on composition to give the art a more modern feel and keep it tied to your body flow. I constantly experiment with collage elements or details that break up the main structure. My goal is always to wrap the design around your muscle lines so the ink feels like a real, moving part of your body.

Info
ⓘ Before the session Please get a good night’s sleep and have a solid meal before your appointment - your body will need the energy! Wear loose clothing that gives easy access to the tattoo area ( Black is your best friend here to avoid any ink stains )
Bring water, some snacks, and whatever helps you pass the timeⓘ Healing Avoid saunas, swimming pools, gyms, and direct sunlight for at least 10 days. Let your skin rest. Never scratch, pick, or peel your healing tattoo, no matter how itchy it gets. Stick to loose, breathable clothing to avoid any friction or irritationⓘ Healing with Second skin Keep the protective film on for 4 to 5 days, then remove it gently under warm water. Wash the area softly with mild soap, pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply a very thin layer of aftercare cream. Apply the cream 2 to 3 times daily for about 2 weeks.ⓘ Healing with pad Gently remove the pad, wash the tattoo with mild soap, and apply a thin layer of cream. Cover it with a fresh, clean pad, keeping it secure but loose enough for the skin to breathe. Repeat this routine 2 to 3 times a day for the first 3 days. After day 3, ditch the pads and just continue with the cream 2 to 3 times daily for about 2 weeks.ⓘ Long-term care (Once healed) Always apply SPF 50+: UV rays break down ink particles. Protect the tattoo whenever it is exposed to daylight. Moisturize your skin regularly. Dry skin acts like a matte filter, making black look lighter. Use any basic, fragrance-free lotion to keep the contrast sharp.
