Boris is still active these days, and he is one of the few who was declared a contemporary artist by the Museum of Modern Art in Rome (MACRO) in November 2018 for his performance in tattooing.
He maintains close contact with the members of the tattoo material- and tool-producing industry, thanks to which the market-leading ink manufactory, Intenzehas been distributing, under his name, the collection of paint produced by himfor a decade, and has played a significant role in popularizing the modern tattoo reformer needle module system.
He saw the future of tattooing as an art form,and the path of its development in sharing knowledge already in the 90s. Hegained the necessary experience by teaching students in his body art shop, with which he participated as a speaker at the first international seminar series, the World Wide Tattoo Conference in Rome, Chicago and London.
This was followed by a long series of seminars and workshops, after which he began to hold his own performances in his shop in Vienna, which were distributed on film and enjoyed great popularity in previous years.
He felt that these few-day seminars and workshops, due to their shortness, delivered only a narrowslice of his experience to the audience.
