Jio’s Tattoos Express the Joy and Pain of Life
Jio was born in Dzerzhinsk, Russia, and emigrated with her family to the South of Portugal, where she spent part of adolescence and eventually studied in Lisbon’s prestigious university (Faculdade de Bela-Artes da ULisboa).
Even though she still has a strong connection to Portugal, that country did not give the opportunity she deserved to become a great tattoo artist. Instead, it was on a trip to the United States, where she took a tattoo training course that led her on her path.
Jio currently spends much time in Berlin and San Francisco, where the open-mindedness suits her personality and tattoo creations. READ INTERVIEW
