KAZENTATTOO is a tattoo and piercing studio on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, founded and led by Vladimir Kozachenko.

Vladimir works in Black & Grey Realism - hyperrealism, dark realism and sacred/religious realism. Every project is designed from scratch and built around anatomy: the body is treated as volume, not a flat canvas, so the composition follows muscle, bone and movement. Black & grey is used as a language of light and shadow, with cinematic lighting and high detail always subordinated to the whole image. His strongest work is large scale - sleeves, backs, chest pieces and legs.

The studio team includes seven resident artists plus visiting guest artists, covering black & grey realism, portraits, sacred and religious imagery, cover-ups, fine line, ornamental and geometric work, blackwork and dotwork. Body piercing is available in-house.

How we work: free consultation before booking, a custom sketch prepared for each project, single-use sterile equipment, and aftercare guida
