Today we’d like to introduce you to Maria Strutynska.
Hi Maria, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
Starting my journey as a tattoo artist a year ago, being in America for only 1 year and 6 months, I discovered the world of tattoos and permanent makeup. My good friend, an experienced tattoo artist, introduced me to this opportunity. Although my initial steps in this art coincided with the pregnancy period, I studied it with intrigue. After the birth of my baby, I started working in the studio, gaining valuable experience from my mentor. Over time, Olga Zabarova offered me to move to her studio, «Еmpire Beauty Studio, “in Beachwood. It was an incredible offer, and I also decided to learn from her how to do permanent makeup. Olga is a recognized expert in this field, and I am confident that it opened new horizons for me in the world of tattoos and makeup.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The path to becoming a tattoo artist was not smooth. Practice proved to be challenging, considering the high competition and the need for active client engagement. However, I do not lose faith and continue to develop. I am confident that with a large amount of practice and perseverance, I will become a recognized artist in my city, Cleveland.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a tattoo artist specializing in line work and using red-black color schemes. This is a special form of art for me that evokes great passion. My heart belongs to small tattoos, and I am always happy to bring your ideas to life in intricate designs on your skin.
We love surprises, fun facts, and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
Thank you for the interesting question! I am a tattoo artist from Ukraine, specializing in linear tattoos, and I have been developing my art in America for half a year. My passion lies in intricate details and sophisticated designs, and I am always ready to share my unique creativity with clients. Additionally, I specialize in reproducing tattoos from photographs. For instance, I can recreate an old photo of you with your father in a linear style and ink it onto your skin. This is my unique feature that few people know about.
