Tattoo artists
Kóca worked as a graphic designer for 8 years, initially in his hometown of Hronov in East Bohemia, and after moving to Prague, at the Agama studio owned by the academical painter Irena Macháčková.
After a chance encounter with his longtime friend Jarda Králíček, co-owner of the prominent Prague studio TRIBO, he decided to change direction and join the Tribo team. There, he managed the e-shop and wholesale of tattoo and piercing supplies. In his spare time, he observed tattoo artists, refined his technique, and in 2014, committed himself to the profession of tattooing.
In his portfolio, you'll find a diverse range of styles, from graphic and geometric designs combined with dotwork or vibrant details, to blackwork, Japanese manga, lettering, and even reproductions of children's drawings. Kóca typically creates tattoo designs tailored to each customer's preferences and ideas, ensuring that each piece is truly unique. His work is characterized by a distinctive graphic style and meticulous attention to detail.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Kóca's interests include collecting statues and figurines with themes from film and comic books, a passion that also influences his creative work.
