About me
Bartosz Panas - neotraditional artistic tattoo with passion and experience
Hi, my name is Bartosz Panas I have been dealing with tattooing since 2003. It is not only my job, but above all a passion and a form of artistic expression. For more than two decades I have been creating original neo-traditional tattoos, which combine classical technique with a modern approach to form and composition.
The way of the artist
I started my journey by learning the basics of technique - at a time when reliability, versatility and craftsmanship counted. My first successes came as early as 2008, when I won my first prizes at the tattoo conventions. Since then, I have collected more than 100 - both in Poland and abroad.
From 2006 to 2011, I co-founded the Gulestus studio, and in 2011 I founded the Caffeine Tattoo - a place that over the years has become a legend of the Polish tattoo art scene. It was a creative space where artists from all over the world met, sharing experience, knowledge and inspiration.
Style and approach
I specialise in neo-traditional tattoo - style, which combines classical techniques (mainly American and Japanese) with spatial, contemporary forms. The results are timeless, contrasting tattoos with high durability and depth of expression.
Thanks to the experience I have gained from numerous trips around Europe, conventions and guest spots, I can offer clients a individual approach, openness to their visions and a full understanding of the personal stories they want to express through tattooing.
My studio
In 2022, I opened my own, a private tattoo parlour in Warsaw - Wesoła district, right next to Mazovian Landscape Park. It is a place created for comfort, tranquillity and fully focussed on the customer relationship. The atmosphere is of great importance to me - the view of the forest outside the window, the natural light and the intimacy help you to focus on what is most important: your tattoo.
Operations and development
I have been in office since 2022 chief judge at Tattoofest - the most important tattoo festival in Poland. It's an honour for me, but it's also a huge space for me to develop further - the opportunity to watch the tattoo scene change and grow, nationally and internationally.
I am constantly learning to offer you a tattoo that not only looks, but above all means.
