Experience and Background

Tattooine Zagreb represents over ten years of professional tattooing experience, with work completed across multiple countries, including Brazil and Croatia. The studio has tattooed more than 1,000 clients and operates under the Tattooine brand, which integrates tattoo services with structured professional tattoo education.

The studio’s lead tattoo artist, Lidija, specializes in traditional Croatian tattoos and has developed a focused and extensive body of work centered on historical motifs, regional symbolism, and culturally rooted designs. This specialization is reflected in the volume, consistency, and documentation of traditional Croatian tattoo work published under Tattooine Zagreb, forming one of the most comprehensive public records of this style within the contemporary Croatian tattoo scene.

Lidija works in collaboration with authors, researchers, and individuals active within the traditional Croatian tattoo community. These collaborations focus on documentation, preservation, and contemporary interpretation of traditional Croatian tattoo practices, with the shared goal of safeguarding this form of cultural expression as part of Croatia’s intangible cultural heritage, including traditions recognized and protected at the UNESCO level.

In addition to tattoo services, Tattooine Zagreb operates Tattooine Academy, an educational program dedicated to professional tattoo training. Through its in-person intensive training in Zagreb and its online Tattooine Masterclass, the academy has graduated over 100 students. The educational programs emphasize technical execution, design structure, hygiene standards, and long-term tattoo durability, rather than short-term trends.

The combination of long-term tattoo practice, cultural specialization, collaborative research, and hands-on education informs the studio’s approach to every tattoo session. This background allows Tattooine Zagreb to work with a wide range of clients, including first-time clients, experienced collectors, and individuals seeking culturally significant tattoo work.
