Across realistic faces, tags and graphic marks turn the image into something that feels pulled from a city wall. The likeness draws you in. The graffiti keeps your eyes moving.

Portraits sit alongside street culture, movie characters, cars and architecture in his practice. That range gives him plenty of material, but the collision between a recognizable face and the marks covering it is the clearest introduction to his work. <a href=\"https:\/\/lovemachinenyc.com\/tattoo-artists-nyc\/mashkow\/\">Love Machine artist profile<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03.jpg\" alt=\"Jimi Hendrix portrait tattoo by Mashkow with colorful lettering and flame-shaped graffiti.\" class=\"wp-image-6616\" style=\"width:600px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03-500x625.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-03-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tattoo art by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_mashkow_\/\">Mashkow (@_mashkow_)<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A PAINTER BEFORE THE TATTOO MACHINE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mashkow grew up near Sergiev Posad in Russia\u2019s Moscow region, in a family of artists. In a 2019 interview with iNKPPL, he described studying painting at Abramtsevo Art Industrial College and entering tattooing when a friend brought him equipment and asked him to finish an old tattoo. His background began with drawing and painting, long before the graffiti-covered portraits became his calling card. <a href=\"https:\/\/inkppl.com\/en\/magazine\/intervyu\/interview-alexey-mashkow\">iNKPPL interview, October 8, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04.jpg\" alt=\"Graffiti-covered skull portrait tattoo by Mashkow with red OBEY lettering.\" class=\"wp-image-6617\" style=\"width:600px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04-500x625.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-04-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tattoo art by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_mashkow_\/\">Mashkow (@_mashkow_)<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He dates the start of his tattoo career to 2011. Speaking to Inked in March 2019, he explained the ingredients of his developing style: portrait painting, the hip-hop culture of the 1980s and 1990s, and his love of horror. Those interests gave him a way to bring familiar subjects into a more unruly visual world. <a href=\"https:\/\/inkedmag.com\/original-news\/exclusive-interview-with-alexey-mashkow\">Inked interview, March 28, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05.jpg\" alt=\"Spider-Man portrait tattoo by Mashkow with bright graffiti lettering.\" class=\"wp-image-6619\" style=\"width:600px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05-500x625.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-05-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tattoo art by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_mashkow_\/\">Mashkow (@_mashkow_)<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAMILIAR FACES, DIFFERENT RULES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The portrait gives the viewer something to recognize. The graffiti gives it another personality.

Platinum hair frames the face, green \u201cJOLENE\u201d lettering crosses the forehead, and an orange butterfly sits at the neck. The familiar subject and the added marks give the eye different things to follow within the same image. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DcenCpxq3yb\/\">Dolly Parton tattoo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07.jpg\" alt=\"Home Alone character portrait tattoo by Mashkow with colorful graffiti and a small car.\" class=\"wp-image-6620\" style=\"width:600px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07-500x625.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skinandink.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/mashkow-carousel-07-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tattoo art by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_mashkow_\/\">Mashkow (@_mashkow_)<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That approach also travels beyond skin. Superchief Gallery documents his 2022 solo exhibition, <em>ARE U REAL<\/em>, which brought his imagery into animated work made with collaborators and music by HEARSE T.
