Mr.Jo

Welcome to my website!

My name is József Béres, also known as Mr.Jo.

I originally come from Kazincbarcika, a small town in Hungary, where my passion for art began at a very young age. In fact, I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, starting back in kindergarten.

With the encouragement and support of my parents, I attended an art school where I explored various forms of fine art, including drawing, painting, and other creative disciplines. I later graduated with outstanding results, gaining qualifications in electronic graphics, image and publication design, and video technology.

My journey into tattooing began when I got my first tattoo at the age of 15 or 16. I immediately fell in love with the art form, and by the age of 18, I had started teaching myself how to tattoo.

What started as a fascination quickly became a lifelong passion.

For the past 15 years, tattooing has been a huge part of my everyday life. I've dedicated countless hours to developing my skills, exploring different techniques, and continuously pushing myself creatively.

I spent the first few years of my career in Hungary. After approximately four years, an incredible opportunity came along, and I made the decision to move to London.

There, together with an amazing group of friends, we established One Day Tattoo Studio, a place that became a significant part of my personal and professional journey. For nearly nine years, I was proud to be part of the team, helping shape the studio and growing alongside some incredibly talented artists.

After my years in London, I moved to Manchester, where I spent the next two years working at North of Winter Tattoo Collective, continuing to develop my artistic approach and working on a wide variety of creative projects.

And now, another exciting chapter begins.

Together with a close friend and his wife, we're bringing a new private tattoo studio to life in Todmorden, called Tetko.

It's a fresh beginning, built on years of experience, friendship, creativity, and a shared passion for tattooing.

After all these years, my passion for creating art is just as strong as it was when I first picked up a pencil.
