Anna Chernova Los Angeles, CA

Hi. My name is Anna Chernova, and in the tattoo world, they know me as Horror Tattoo. I live in Los Angeles, and I am a member of a professional team of several major brands. I am a winner of conventions in the USA and in Europe.

Who/where do you get your inspiration from?

I draw inspiration from ideas; if there are none, I am not very interested in the work. I like collaborating with clients. And I’m glad when for him/her, my tattoo means something more than a picture on the body.

What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo virgin)

Probably more to trust the artist because they like to control the design and placement and change everything in the process.

What did your family and friends think about you getting into the

tattoo business? Well, at first, of course, my parents weren’t happy, but over time they got used to it when they realized that I didn’t want to do anything else in life. My friends were glad, of course, but now they have a lot of tattoos for which I am ashamed.

What would you say is your favorite part of

the job? When I’m happy with the design and the outcome, definitely.

What was it that initially sparked your interest in tattooing?

Everything seemed to be decided for me, I just started doing tattoos, and a month later, I had no free dates for bookings. I had to leave my main job.

Who are your favorite

artists? Oscar Akermo and Pawel lndulski

Are there any tattoos you would refuse to do? (face, private

areas, etc.) I think private areas.

What do you think is in store for the future

of tattooing? I think it will always evolve; styles will just change, adapting to new fashion trends.

Have you ever had a bad tattooing experience, and

what was it? Yes, of course, when I started getting tattoos; I didn’t understand why everything didn’t work out perfectly.

What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?

Don’t be afraid to try new things, don’t quit, continue to develop; now, there are so many online courses and personal pieces of training. ✕
