I’m Maya, a 31-year-old artist, printmaker and tattoo artist from Bochum, Germany. Under the stage name Maya Mysteria, I have been working as a tattoo artist for more than six years. Due to the pandemic, however, I have barely been allowed to do my actual job, which has pulled me down a lot. Actually, it was only because of this that I started making prints out of necessity. My previous training as a goldsmith means that I’ve always had a soft spot for handmade things. It was clear to me from the start that I wanted to create more traditional prints.
