PART 3

At the age of 23, me and my girlfriend decide to move to Finland. We chose that as a land of new opportunities, a new chapter. I started searching for a new place where I could work, and in the best-case scenario – get a proper, full, traditional apprenticeship. The choice has fallen on the great city Lappeenranta. Next 7 years, at first traveling back and forth between 2 countries, and finally
permanently staying – I have spent in Down Under, for which I want to say an enormously big Thanks and appreciation. As in life in general and other many things, aspects of life – we had the ups and downs, the raises and the falls, the good and the bad days, everyone made their own mistakes (I am not an exception on that). But after those 7 years my presence in that tattoo shop, our views and paths have started to differ so much, until in one final day our ways no longer could stick along.

At summer we had a conversation, a moment, when I made a decision – I no longer want to continue. We talked about the terms and time, when should the thing happen, but as it quite often happens – universe had its own plans and ideas. In October our paths have separated. Then came the idea of the BARDO TATTOO – it is the final point, to which I have arrived, where I am at this exact particular moment and why I am writing it.

At the end I would like to ask You – was in interesting? Do you find such a format to “have its place” in the feed? 
I would like to make more of such content, posts, because I think I have lots of experience to share, so much to say and tell – my ideas, visions, worldviews, values, philosophy etc.

Truly yours, Victor !

Victor Emeliyanenko. PART 2

While my girlfriend was getting her university degree, I tried my best to provide a living for us. That gave another huge lesson and experience. In all possible sorts of aspects of life and work experience itself. I went through all sorts of different basic, every day routine jobs. I learned how little most of people value those kinds of jobs and tasks. It was my pleasure to work – on a construction site, as a butcher, in a grocery store, tried my fortune being a salesman, but finally I have found what I have searched for. I became a tattooer. The reason, why you are reading this exact story now. Ever since the age of 21 I started getting to know that culture, craft, art, started to study, practice and get my first experience in the wide and amazing universe of tattoos.

At the beginning of the journey, my journey – I was self-taught, self-made.
My hands, heart, mind and soul tried to reach to every smallest thing connected with tattooing. Every tiny bit of information was valuable as gold. In my mind and consciousness were spinning billions of questions, what and how to do in the right way, why exactly in this particular way one action should be done, how to make it better, how to improve and so on… That brought me to the search and need of a teacher. A mentor.

Firstly – it was a man from Germany. My studying/apprenticeship in Germany ended after 2 weeks being there under his “guidance”. In the matter of fact of his behaviour, values, ideas, treating customers – I decided to politely end this partnership and return back to Estonia. We didn’t find common ground in communication and cooperation.

After returning back to Estonia, I start working at a shop called Tartu-Tattoo. The biggest gem, gift of the universe of that place was my colleague, my friend and just an amazing human being, a very talented artist – . Conversations, exchanging experience, trials and errors, advices, tips, observations and discoveries. All that gave an incredible wonderful platform, base for my start. But the questions did not end, on the other side of the table – their number got bigger.

To be continued...

Greetings everyone!

Today i would like to introduce myself – tell a bit more about myself. After all it is very important to know your tattooer, since You are entrusting him your body, skin, image, art, which will be forever with You.

My name is - Victor Emeliyanenko. I’m 30 years old. According to my name, You guessed it right – I am not Finnish. Honestly speaking, I do not know myself, what nationality or culture I belong to. Openly stating – I could care less. Being considering myself a human is more than enough.

I was born in Estonia, in the times of USSR in a very basic Russian/Ukrainian family. Because of that my past was a roller coaster. But let’s not get into those details, yet…

My childhood and youth years were spent in a small Estonian town Tartu, where I got as well my middle and high school education. Because of the idea and desire to be financially independent and some bad luck, unpleasant gifts form life, despair – I was forced to go to work quite early on. At the age of 12 I started combining work and education, what in somewhat ways affected my grades, knowing myself and shaping my personality.

After high school was over, I went on to study programming. One weird cocktail that guys is, would one think after he gets to know me closer. My patience lasted for half a year, until it became clear – it was not my thing. The decision making was not so easy as it seems. It took a good bite of my nerves, health and a huge fight with my parents, who were very unsupportive of my ideas.

At the age of 19 , I met my first big love, with whom we were together 7.5 years. And I mentioned her not without a special reason being prepared for the future story…

The rest of the story will be uploaded in the next post!

Happy New Year !

So… the 2020 came to an end. I would like to sum up the ending year and tell a little bit about plans and ideas in the one…

A year ago, on everything what happen in 2020 I could respond – nightmare, hell and agony. But now, the only thing I say – I am blessed. It was a great opportunity to learn, to see and find new ways, paths, ideas, chances to work on yourself in the first place. I have learned to value things that really matter in this world. That years showed as well who really cared and true face of many in my surroundings.

In that difficult, very one of a kind, but interesting in its own way year - BARDO TATTOO was born. It operates now for two months and gets a bigger momentum. For that I would like to honestly, from the bottom of my heart to say – Thank You! We think that we did a fantastic job, we achieved and brought to life everything what we planned for this year. 

Speaking about the New 2021 Year. We have prepared many surprises and great things.
We will not open all of our cards, but here are some of them:

In the end of January we will perform the Official opening of the shop. There, each one of You can take part and get some nice bonuses. The details will be announced a little bit later.

Gift cards – We created beautiful, unique idea for our gift certificates. They will not leave a single person unsatisfied. That will be a great gift on any occasion!

New ideas for tattoo games and contests. 

As well in our social media we will be talking how our shop develops and is growing. Lots of other topics and subjects will be addressed on. We would like to show You how that craft and industry looks from the inside. Maybe someone will get motivated by that, other might get helpful information and thus they can become better!

Stay tuned with us

And a Happy New Year from BARDO TATTOO.

We are back to work and open as normally: Tuesday to Saturday 10.000-18.00

Always welcome to Bardo Tattoo !
