.TATTOO.ART.
It was artist John Maxx who, along with Florin Dobre, formed the Radical Ink Hall on April 11, 2011. The studio was still on Stirbei Voda Street until in March of 2014. And then, with the aim of taking on larger projects, it moved to Vasile Lascar Street where the team got bigger.
John’s idea was to elevate the art of tattoo in Romania to a superior level, both in terms of design creativity and in execution. Today, Radical Ink is home to a team of the best tattoo artists and designers living in Romania.

Zaed / Artist
Edward Ciocodeica, under the name of ZAED, has been working in this field since 2006 when, after finishing his musical studies, he has decided to embrace this art. After a few years in the branch, he began to focus on more complex works, being more attracted to the photorealistic style. Nowadays, he is dedicated exclusively to this style, trying to perfect his technique as much as possible and at the same time to bring a personal touch to the black and gray or color works.
Florin Stanciu / Artist
Born on January 25, 1989, in Pitesti, with passion for drawing, I began to play with tattoos somewhere in 2008 when I did my first tattoo with an improvised device. Professionally I started working in 2013, when I managed to work at professional studios in Germany and England. I am currently glad to be part of the Radical Ink team. I like realistic color tattoos and BlackAndGrey.
Cezar / Artist
With some experience in drawing and a lot of passion, Cezar Burcus has begun a beautiful road to tattoo art along with the Radical Ink family. In time he has perfected his graphic styles, line work, dot work and black work. A pleasant and benevolent yarn makes the experience of a tattoo as pleasant as possible.
