Hi, I'm Laci (Ladislav Hacel) & I'm a tattoo artist at Aloneinthedarkink Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio, based in Didcot Oxfordshire. This site was created to showcase my Artwork & to provide information on myself & the tattoo. www.aloneinthedarkink.com

My Artistic Journey

The whole of life is art – though of course everybody will experience it in their own individual way. Art has enabled me to grow as a person. I have noticed one really important thing: it is given me the ability to appreciate life and the people around me. It has also taught me to stay positive. The more I get into art, the more I learn about myself. And I have realised that I don't really know anything at all! Art gives us a lot of answers, but it also provides us with more and more questions. We can use these in our search for peace. For me, peace of mind comes from within. It comes from the realisation that I am trying to do my best every single day.

My Inspiration and Style

Throughout my life, I have been exposed to many different styles of art and creativity, and my view has changed as I have got older. I have always liked to explore different genres and movements and I often find myself being inspired by things that I might have disregarded or ignored when I first saw them.
Variety – an eclectic point of view – is always a good thing. I pick up small things from other artists, put my own twist on them, and come up with something that is uniquely mine.
I really like realism and surrealism, so I try always to move in this direction, improving what I do with some unpredictable twists and turns. Like my personality, my work is shaped by my environment and by the people I respect. I remember, for instance, the day I found out about the famous Hungarian artist Boris and Ukraine Dimitri, whos is well known on the tattoo scene . His works really helped me define what I had in mind for my own work and somehow gave me the courage to push on.

THINK BEFORE YOU INK!!!

If you have never had a tattoo before, don't go rushing in. Take your time and have a good look around.

There are so many tattoo studio's around at the moment and they look fantastic but that does not mean that the art work or the care is fantastic.

You can only blame yourself for getting a bad tattoo.

See the work that they have done first of all, don't just go for a bargain. Don't go cheap on your skin, it could end up costing you a fortune in the long run!!!

There are so many customers who I meet that want me to cover up bad work. They say "look at this mess, but it only cost me 20 pounds". And now it is going to cost a lot more to sort it out and a lot of tattoo artist do not like touching other peoples work.



SO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!! DONT RUSH IN!!!
