Ashkon's story began in London, where, despite familial reservations, he embraced his fascination with tattoos. His initiation into the tattoo world started with a self-tattooing endeavor using a set he purchased on eBay.

His dedication and talent propelled him forward, allowing him to explore different styles and eventually relocate to London, where he further honed his craft.
