I’m Goorazz, a London based tattoo artist with two decades of experience and a deep obsession with black ink.

Starting in walk-in shops, I tattooed everything- traditional, realism, colour -but it was calligraphy and raw, powerful blackwork that consumed me.

Today I focus on freehand gothic lettering and neotribal-inspired forms, drawn straight on skin without stencils. My process is instinctive and intense – working with the body’s flow, creating bold, dark pieces that carry weight.

Influenced by medieval blackletter, abstract calligraphy, tribal, graffiti, and sign painting my work blurs the line between tattooing and ritual. For me, tattoos aren’t decoration – they’re commitment, sacrifice, and power etched into skin. Visible placements like hands, necks, and faces remain my favourite canvases.

Now I’m pushing further into abstract calligraphy and large scale designs, keeping alive the outlaw spirit of the 90’s tattoo culture I grew up admiring.

This isn’t fashion. This is for life.
