I’m Spendlo — one of the most awarded tattoo artists in Czechoslovakia. A lifelong self-taught creator. I had my first exhibition at the age of 18, which marked the beginning of my artistic journey. I worked with everything from pencils and paint to airbrush and spray cans, eventually leading me to the tattoo machine. Since my teenage years, I’ve been creating graffiti under the name KASA, which heavily influences my artistic signature. I’ve been part of the tattoo world for over 20 years. After exploring various styles, I ultimately found my place in color graphic tattooing, characterized by bold contrasting colors and thick lines. Thanks to my skill and dedication, I’ve earned more than 70 awards from tattoo competitions around the world. I’ve tattooed in studios in London, Copenhagen, Toronto, New York, Hong Kong, Bali, and more. I’m currently based in Trnava.
