Vitalii – Tattoo Artist in Key West
From Ukraine to the Keys: Vitalii’s Journey
Vitalii’s path to tattooing didn’t follow a straight line. Born and raised in Ukraine, he grew up surrounded by architecture, art, and a culture rich in symbolism—elements that still influence his work today. He spent several years in Miami honing his skills and building a loyal client base before making his way to Key West, where he found a new creative home at Southernmost Tattoo.
A Versatile Hand with a Global Perspective
Vitalii is a true student of the craft. His portfolio reflects a wide range of styles—from bold blackwork and delicate fine line to full-color realism and neo-traditional pieces. Whether it’s a finely detailed portrait or a custom sleeve with intricate shading, Vitalii brings technical precision and an artist’s eye to every design. He’s just as comfortable creating custom ornamental pieces as he is tattooing vibrant Japanese-inspired motifs or minimal micro tattoos.
Tattoo Philosophy
For Vitalii, tattooing is more than just decoration—it’s a dialogue between the artist and the wearer. He takes the time to understand each client’s story, tailoring every design to suit the individual. His calm energy and confident skillset make him a favorite among both first-timers and seasoned collectors. Whether you’re after something meaningful, bold, or completely off-the-wall, Vitalii will meet you there with open ears and steady hands.
