Name: Anna Kustova Shop: Tattoo Galaxy ( Rehoboth) How long have you been tattooing? What sparked your interest? I do tattoos almost 4 years. Drawing is my favorite subject since childhood. I tried out nearly everything including painting portraits, henna tattoos, I drew on walls, did tattoo designs for my friends and stuff. When I was 18 years old I decided to get into tattooing. I found a proper tattoo shop and started my apprenticeship. Since that day I fell in love with my occupation and understood that I do not want to be stopped. |
From your Instagram I noticed that all of your tattoos are black and gray. Would you consider this your speciality? What kind of tattoos are your favorite to design?
Yes, I adore to do black tattoos! I can periodically add a bit color to my work, if that is required by a design, but most of the time I prefer to stick to the no color tattoos. I always like to draw something new and unique! But probably most of all I like to do everything that is related to nature: plants, animals, different flowers.

What are some of your hobbies and have they influenced your work at all? All my hobbies in one way or another are related to the art. I am super interested in history of art. There is nothing better than new exhibition in the local galleries. Contemporary art is something I would never be tired of! It’s such a huge inspiration that gives me ideas for my future tattoos. Quite recently I sketched the design based on René Magritte’s most famous creation “The Son of Man”. One of my clients fell in love with this sketch and took a trip from Georgia to Delaware! That was very positive experience and I am open for similar projects. |

What kind of art do you enjoy doing outside of tattooing?
I love everything that is related to drawing! Recently I covered with signature style flowers the pair of vans shoes. I enjoyed every minute doing this! I even had an idea to produce more custom shoes. Similarly it would be very interesting me to paint clothing, bags or even furniture! I think it will be fun!

It looks like you have had the opportunity to travel to a lot of cool places! What is your favorite place you have visited? Traveling is one of my favourite things to do! It doesn’t matter is it other country or simply nearby city, it always recharge and vitalize my mind. To be honest it’s very difficult to pick only one place but let it be Tenerife island which located in Spain. It was my first journey abroad. Black volcanic sand, warm ocean and beautiful mountains are unforgettable. |
