From early on, the vision was clear — to open a studio not just as a place for tattooing, but as a creative space for a vibrant community. The idea was always to go beyond tattooing: to work across different fields of art, including design, painting, exhibitions, and promoting other artists. The goal was to contribute to the community and a higher purpose, creating a space where creativity could truly flourish.

It was an ambitious vision, and in the beginning it was challenging to visualize and take on such a project alone. But that vision was always present, and it became the driving force behind the entire idea.

In 2016, a vision came to life with the opening of Forever Yours Tattoo Parlour, marking the beginning of an inspiring adventure. A year into the journey, Darjan entered the story. He immediately understood the bigger picture and became the perfect partner for Anja, both in life and work. Together, they began shaping the studio into a space that reached far beyond tattooing—somewhere people could share ideas, create, and support one another. As the team grew with Borna, Anja’s apprentice, the studio’s energy started attracting more creative souls, guest artists, and friends.

Although tattooing always preoccupied most of their time, they began working on video production, music content, promoting other artists, and organizing charity events—one of the most notable being the “Charity Tattoo Party,” which has already become a recognized event in Rijeka and Croatia. This event not only showcases artistic talent but also strengthens the local community by supporting various charitable causes. Their multifaceted approach has helped elevate the cultural scene while maintaining their core passion for tattoo art.

Looking ahead, the team continues to plan new projects and aims to expand the business into various creative directions.

Tattooing will always remain at the heart of our studio, but our vision is to continually grow by raising awareness and educating the community about tattooing and the arts in general. We believe that making all forms of art more accessible and present in everyday life enriches not only individuals, but the entire community. For us, life with art is a life of greater quality and beauty—and by deepening our collective understanding of art, we can all experience a richer, more meaningful existence.
