Ivo Angelov Tattoo Artist

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about my adventure. My name is Ivo Angelov, and I'd like to share with you a little bit about myself and my art. I've had some amazing experiences with the Rose Parade and the US Army, and I've been fortunate enough to capture thousands of images of the work I've done. However, I've noticed that sometimes these images don't fully showcase the effort and care I put into my work.

I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, and was exposed to many different art forms from a young age. My parents were professionals in the art world - my dad was a restoration technician, and my mom was a teacher. I earned a degree in small electronics from a professional high school, and later a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. I am really passionate about entrepreneurship and have owned several businesses, including a tobacco shop, gym, and restaurant. Since my twenties, I've always been busy with some project or adventure.

In 2015, I came to the United States with just a suitcase and $2000. It's been my home ever since, and I've found that art has been a great way to make friends and earn a living. I joined the team at Fiesta Parade Floats in 2016, and then joined the Army in 2018. Now, I'm a proud veteran and a tattoo artist at Cherno Ink Tattoo Studio Huntsville AL

Artistic Statement

My artistic interests cover a wide range of mediums and styles, which have evolved over different periods of my life. I like to draw people's attention and emphasize their perspective by introducing vibrant and colorful objects to places where they don't belong, with the intention of catching the eye. I have worked with a variety of materials and scales, but my favorite canvases are digital media and skin (tattoos). During my first BA Major, I gained a lot of knowledge about realism pencil and charcoal drawing. Although I don't consider myself a strong realism drawer, the European continent, where the renaissance and classical drawing originated, has left a lasting impression on me. Currently, I focus mainly on small-scale graphics, which make up 80% of my work. I intend to continue focusing on this area and building upon it. Over the years, I've experimented with many different mediums, ranging from 3D work for my degree projects to sculptures made from metal and foam for the Rose Parade. I've also worked on digital designs for posters, cards, and commercial media, as well as paintings made with acrylic and spray paint. Recently, I've been exploring skin and digital media. I am inclined towards the gore, and the grotesque I always found it fascinating as it makes people stare. Devil is in the detail so I do tend to pay as much attention as I mentally can to my fine work. My compositions usually relate to whatever is popular, I often observe the work of other artists in the tattoo world to whom I may relate, in order to develop ideas for my compositions and generate a final product. Specifically in my field of work which is tattoos, I get asked to create original art every week and I have found that to be very challenging but rewarding. That volume tremendously helps the artist to undertake more projects with believe that one can execute them and present them. My current favorite medium is the human skin. My main focus is on a realistic grey work with splashes of red around it (the style is more famously known as “Trash Polka”), It’s a clash of realities. Another style I do enjoy is the “Pencil Sketch” (a way of tattooing where the lines are rough and look like a sketch). When I’m not making tattoos, I do enjoy designing them which sometimes turns into graphic art itself, I use mainly Procreate or Sketchbook for that purpose. I think as an artist my work and my client’s responses have determined me to be a very detail-oriented tattoo artist. This is the field that has brought me the most rewarding development into fine art. I do feel the need to keep pushing the boundaries in order to achieve another step into my detail. Regardless of the medium that I use I always like to attract the interest with flashier and bolder imagery. I will continue to experiment into that topic in order to achieve as much of that effect into my spectators.

READ CAREFULLY

During the tattooing process, I find it challenging to provide precise times or estimates for completing your tattoo. There are several variables involved, including skin type, the level of detail in your design, the size of the area being tattooed, the specific design or style you choose, and other potential factors. Instead of prioritizing the time it takes, I place more emphasis on achieving the desired end result.

During your consultation, I can provide a close estimation of the time required, but please understand that my main focus is ensuring the integrity of your tattoo. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss your tattoo ideas, please feel free to contact me.

 

I offer my services at a Full/Half Day rate, as it is challenging to provide precise estimates on the duration of each tattoo. By adopting a broader approach, I aim to avoid making it impersonal and tailored to each individual's unique design.

 

I require a $300 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit, which does 3 things.

1) It goes toward the price of your tattoo the day of your appointment.

2) It allows me to schedule your session date at your consultation.

3) It retains my services to go to the drawing board with your ideas and get started on your design.
