Bary comes from the picturesque Bulgarian coastal city of Burgas. He first visited Prague in 1997, and although he travelled extensively, Prague captured his heart the most. He has lived here permanently since 2009.

Drawing fascinated him from an early age, which led him to attend an art school. He began tattooing at the age of thirteen, first practising on himself. Over time, tattooing became his passion, alongside his musical career as a member of a band. At the age of twenty-four, Bary decided to dedicate himself to tattooing professionally, and in 2004 he became an apprentice to the renowned tattoo artist Tarlito—a defining moment in his career. His talent and tireless dedication soon enabled him to open his own studio, Love Thy Neighbor, in his hometown of Burgas. After several successful years, he decided to take his work beyond Bulgaria and explore the wider world.

Tattoo Styles

His favourite tattoo styles include Traditional and Neo-Traditional, West Coast, Black & Grey, and Realism. He draws inspiration from street culture, the sea, religion, and above all from animals—especially his beloved dogs. Every design he creates is unique, combining the client’s vision with Bary’s own artistic perspective.

Bary has worked in prestigious tattoo studios across Europe, including Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Throughout his career, he has met many talented tattoo artists who inspired him, but his greatest role model and mentor remains Tarlito.

In his free time, Bary enjoys swimming, which helps him maintain balance and recharge from the intensity of his work. Most of all, however, he values spending time with his family—his beloved wife, two children, and three dogs—who bring him joy, inspiration, and renewed energy.
