About Dion Kaszas | Blackwork Tattoo Artist
About
I’ve been obsessed with tattooing since I was young. In 2006 I found a pamphlet describing Nlaka’pamux tattooing practices, and it changed my direction.
I apprenticed in 2009, began deeper research in 2010, and in 2012 I started handpoke and skin-stitch work as part of a larger responsibility: what we carry forward, and how we carry it.
In 2019 I began developing Nlaka’pamux Blackwork as a contemporary lane that could hold Nlaka’pamux visual language at larger scale while maintaining clear cultural boundaries.
This site exists to make entry into my work simple: you choose the lane, we clarify scope, then we build the tattoo properly.
