Style: Calligraphy, Black & Grey, Gothic
[X] 10 years ago, we gathered together, fumbling with scribbled letters we found online like starving creatives—no name for it, just diving in headfirst, imitating, then carving our own path forward.
Then, [A.N.D] was born out of that creative haze—a sudden realization of style, a new path: Soft calligraphy blended with sharp Gothic, infused with Rock and Graffiti to shatter outdated molds, launching straight into an entirely different vibe.
[X] has always believed that every stage has its own value—not to be discarded in a rush to the finish line, but refined, sharpened, made bolder and more alive. And [A.N.D] turned that belief into reality—not throwing things away but transforming them into an eternal flame, overflowing with emotion to breathe life into every stroke, a fierce energy that stays with its owner through every journey.

“Heyyy A.N.D understood the assignment! Being from another country, I was nervous to get a piece in VN but he did a great job. Super nice guy!”
And here is a confession from A.N.D – a guy immersed in the tattooing trade: On this journey, I’m not afraid to say straight up that up to this moment, it’s all just been a series of constant stumbles. But thanks to patience – like a flash of light – I realized: if you don’t fall, you’ll forever stand still, letting fear lock your feet in place, never daring to take the next step.
For me, tattooing is a world drenched in color, where every artist is a creative madman, using lines and styles to tell their life story in the most “artistic” way possible. What captivates me about this craft is the natural law it carries: “Nothing lasts forever” – or, to put it another way, as a line I’ve etched into my mind: “Only change is constant.” Think about it: when you tattoo something onto someone, it lives with them, right?
As long as we breathe, it burns bright; when we’re gone, it fades away too – a natural cycle, as beautiful as life itself.
