Based in Los Angeles, Pasha Ink (Pavlo Pozhydaiev) is the innovator behind the Glitch Realism tattoo style. This distinctive approach blends traditional black & grey techniques with bold color accents, reminiscent of the red-cyan overlays seen in old-school 3D visuals. The result is a dynamic, layered effect that challenges perception and brings a modern twist to classic tattoo artistry.

Pasha’s journey began with a foundation in black & grey realism. Driven by a desire to push creative boundaries, he experimented by integrating color in unconventional ways, leading to the development of Glitch Realism. His work often features elements that appear to shift or vibrate, engaging viewers in a visual experience that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.

Beyond tattooing, Pasha shares his expertise through platforms like TikTok and YouTube, offering insights into his process and inspiring a new generation of artists. His designs are available for purchase on his website, emphasizing exclusivity and originality in each piece.

Joining the ACUS Pro Team in January 2025, Pasha brings his innovative spirit and artistic precision to our collective. His commitment to pushing the envelope aligns seamlessly with ACUS’s dedication to advancing tattoo technology.

Pasha’s feedback has been instrumental in refining our equipment to meet the nuanced demands of contemporary tattooing. His unique style not only broadens the horizons of tattoo artistry but also exemplifies the synergy between creative vision and technical excellence.
