Igor Klimin is an artist based in Düsseldorf, Germany. He works in his own recognizable calligraphic style across tattoos, clothing, cars, walls, and other surfaces.

His style is inspired by, but not limited to, lettering — drawing on Gothic, Slavic, Arabic and Japanese calligraphic traditions, and extending into ornaments and character and animal illustrations, in color or black and white. He sketches freehand, directly on the body, relying on a deep understanding of human anatomy — his style works like a calligraphic construction kit of lines that can be rearranged to fit any surface, which is what lets him cover scars, rework old tattoos, and fill even the tightest, most awkward spaces between existing pieces.

He is one of the most recognized lettering artists and tattoo artists in the industry, with awards across multiple categories at major tattoo conventions. His name is constantly featured in tattoo publications, and his tattoos are recognizable from thousands of others. Igor also runs his own clothing brand, selling tens of thousands of pieces, with people lining up for them at tattoo festivals and conventions, plus one of the largest tattoo-focused YouTube channels in the CIS region.
