Hey hey 👋I’m Anastasia and I am a tattoo artist. I used to live in beautiful city Lviv, Ukraine. In 2019 I moved to USA for a new job( Restoration of historic heritage) in Chicago. Later I started learning about tattooing and eventually I became full time tattoo artist. Also I love photography, especially analog photos. My father bought professional film camera when he was a student and now that’s my favorite camera, which I carry everywhere with me(it’s pretty heavy, but worth it). I'm trying to have healthy lifestyle, I do yoga , hiking and I like healthy food, but sometimes all I need is night at the bar with good beer or wine and huge pizza. Also I’m addicted to sweets and coffee.(I used to work as a barista and cake decorator, maybe that’s the reason). I always look for new coffee shops with good coffee and cool interior while traveling. I believe that we have to use every chance that life is giving to us and fill every day with joy;) .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to spend time with local people and see more than regular tourist places. Usually it helps to find out more about city, culture and specials.
