Portrait of Pete Krol

Pete Krol · CEO, founder & owner

From the stages of Poland to tattoo conventions around the world, Pete Krol has built a life around creative expression. Known in the Polish hip-hop scene as Łyskacz of Mor W.A., he brings an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s instinct to everything he creates.


A graduate of the European Academy of Arts, Pete combines his fine arts education with nearly two decades of tattooing experience. His specialty is photorealism, using precision, depth, and intricate shading to transform photographs and personal ideas into striking works of art on skin.


With more than 200 awards from around the world, Pete’s work has earned recognition at tattoo conventions including Ink Masters, Villain Arts, and many others. Behind those achievements are years of dedication to his craft and a drive to keep evolving as an artist.


As the owner and artist behind Krol Tattoo Club, Pete has successfully operated his tattoo studio and art gallery for years, creating a space where artistry and individuality come together. Every tattoo is an opportunity to turn someone’s story into something they can carry for a lifetime.

Rapper. Fine artist. Award-winning tattoo artist. One exceptionally talented individual.
