My friends know that a “light motif” of me is that I always end up with more paint on myself than I used for a tattoo. Sometimes I don’t close the bottle of paint well so I spray everything around me when I shake it, or somehow (this is still a mystery even to me) i paint my whole knee red, I often walk around with paint smudges on my face, arms, clothes, hands… That is something that has been following me my whole career and my friends find it very amusing.
I lead a simple life. My job requires allot of commitment, dedication and concentration, so “on the edge” life is something that just doesn’t work for me, or as far as I have noticed, for most of my colleagues as well. I love my peace and quiet and most of my free time I spend at home with my wife and my dogs. When they are not with me, I usually like to invite a few good friends over for a cup of coffee and a chat.
I rarely go out and party, only in special occasions and if there is some really god gig or a concert near where I’m at.
In last couple of years every plan I had, came to have some kind of twist to it, either good or bad. Bottom line is that my plans newer work out but I usually have that luck to open some new and better possibilities. So I don’t make any plans for the future. I’m happy with my private and professional life and I take everything that happens as a bonus.

Today a lot of people don't appreciate apprentischip ..they always think there is an easier shorter way to learn something.. they are not ready to commit to learning the propper way, i had a few people that i tried to help...but as it turns out i was wasting my time... i answer everybody when they ask me something about tattooing but to putt my time witch i have very little of.. it´s not worth it at this moment.. :D I´m really glad that you like my painting, but as i said i´m very limited with my time...i´m glad when i have few hours to paint something that isn´t related to tattooing.. :D
It's hard and great responsibility to take on an apprentice, I should know, I'm one :D
The biggest part of my deal is to never say in which salon and to which artist I'm apprenticing. :)
The painting is phenomenal! Do you make exhibitions from time to time?
Hahaaha, first i must say that Efgenije isn't my real name, it's my internet pseudonym, my real name is quite common it's Milan (Mladenovic :D ). As for the apprenticeship i don't do that, and i'm now more and more in Germany instead of Serbia and with all the stuff i have to do i really don't have time...sorry. And for the painting thank you very much, i will put some more of my paintings and drawings in the gallery so you can check it out!
Cheers!
We do have sth in common..."efgenije"-thinking about changing your name? I can't stop laughing when i read it.
I also put the colors everywhere on my body except for "the thing" i am doing.(drawings,painting walls;sometimes tattoos).
I admit,i was lazy to read your every blog,if i understood well,you work in Belgrade as well? I am lookin' for someone to steal the knowledge & practice.About tattooing ofcourse .If you make any "deals".pls let me know.
Cheers
p.s. The painting above is awesome.
As a newbie parent in mid 20's I can only feel admiration for aguy that finds his corner in the world . peacefull enough to retrieve from work. Enjoy buddy, enjoy while it lasts.
Coffee with crew is sanctuary for me when I get ouit to walk. One of mine friends is tattoo aprentice, maybe I could show him some stuff here. Better infront screen than to be rua Cadela puta ( he's a street dog, bitching between mobsters all the time)
I was forced to kick my dog out becouse of the kid.
My mistake. Need that muffin back. :/
