Ivan Baiun Joins Forces with Sashatattooing Studios in San Francisco and Los Angeles
By Dave Brussel
A new force is reshaping the American tattoo landscape.
Internationally lauded tattoo artist Ivan Baiun – widely known by his artistic alias, Bayun Tattoos – has officially launched a bi-coastal residency at Sashatattooing Studios, splitting his time between their flagship locations in Los Angeles and San Francisco. This marks a significant milestone in Baiun’s journey, introducing his unmistakable myth-infused aesthetic to U.S. soil for the very first time.
From Berlin and Tel Aviv to California: A Mythic Journey Continues
Baiun’s arrival brings not only a master’s hand but an entirely new philosophy of tattooing to the States. Known for crafting haunting, symbolic imagery in bold black and crimson palettes, his work transcends traditional tattoo boundaries—evoking ancient folklore, surrealist emotion, and psychological depth.
“I’ve been envisioning this moment for years,” says Baiun. “To finally bring my style and energy to the West Coast—and to do so with Sashatattooing—is something I consider more than professional progress. It’s artistic alignment.”
Two Cities, One Vision: A Rare Dual Residency
Unlike most artists who commit to a single location, Baiun is taking an unconventional route: a shared residency between Sashatattooing’s San Francisco and Los Angeles studios. This strategic move allows clients across California to access his work without the need for international travel—and it offers both studios a rare chance to host a true innovator.
Sasha Masiuk, founder of Sashatattooing, notes, “Ivan’s vision and craftsmanship match the spirit of our studios perfectly. His presence enriches our creative collective and pushes the boundary of what tattooing can be.”
A Visual Language Rooted in Ritual and Dream
Baiun’s signature is unmistakable: organic shapes fused with mythological elements, layered meanings hidden in every stroke, and an intense dialogue between light and shadow. Drawing from Japanese influences, psycho-symbolism, and contemporary design, his tattoos function less as illustrations and more as embodied talismans—each created in deep collaboration with the client.
No two tattoos are alike. Each is treated as a sacred object, merging personal narrative with Baiun’s vast symbolic universe.
An Artist with Global Gravitas
Before his U.S. debut, Baiun made his mark across some of the most respected studios and cities in the global tattoo scene:
- Exodus Tattoo Studio, Tel Aviv
- Vanta Tattoo Gallery, Tel Aviv
- Inkustudioparis, Paris
- Baron Noir Tattoo, Bordeaux
- Auraninetyfour, London
- Der Grimm Tattoo, Berlin
He’s also been a featured artist at prominent conventions such as Wild Claw Belgium and the Israel Tattoo Convention, where his mythologically charged work consistently drew attention.
Taking the Stage Across America: The 2025-2026 U.S. Tour
Beyond his West Coast residencies, Baiun is gearing up for a high-profile tour across major U.S. tattoo conventions throughout 2025 and 2026. Scheduled appearances include:
- Villain Arts Festivals in cities like Denver, Chicago, and New Orleans
- New York Tattoo Convention
- Orlando Tattoo Show
- Art Legends Expo, Texas
- Cincinnati Tattoo Convention, where he’ll serve as a guest judge
These events will serve as a powerful introduction to his work for audiences nationwide.
