Easy Monday is Masha Makhanova:
Tattoo Artist and Designer in Belgium
My journey to tattooing wasn’t a straight line, but every step led me here. After years of working as a graphic and visual designer and illustrator (and with a background in both World Culture and History and Graphic Design) I decided to follow my passion for tattoos. I got my first tattoo when I was 22 and I designed it myself. Back then i didn't know that it will kick in the whole tattoo obsession and will lead me here lol.
For me, tattooing feels like the natural evolution of my years of designing and drawing. Tattoos are such a cool way to turn art into something personal that you get to keep forever. I love how they tell little stories about who we are. I always say: "Your tattoos are bookmarks for your own personal book". I know its super cheesy, but I stand by it. I feel super lucky to do this for a living!
My style is shaped by my love of flora and fauna, history, folklore, fantasy, pop culture, and video games. Whether it’s a botanical design, a whimsical creature, or something inspired by folklore, I love creating art that feels personal and unique to each client.
So why Easy Monday?
Well, like most people, I used to dread Mondays. One day, I decided to flip the script. Instead of starting the week with stress and anxiety, I’d embrace Monday with love and make it my favorite day. I wanted to set the tone for positivity, creativity, and good vibes (not just on Mondays but in life as a whole). That mindset stuck, and “Easy Monday” became my mantra: an approach to life, art, and everything in between.
