Story of Gregory Mirzoyan

young Gregory Mirzoyan in the Central Park of New York City

Immigrated to the United States from Ukraine. While vacationing in Europe, the war in Ukraine prevented him from returning home. Although he had been studying software engineering, his true passion was always art.

His first job in the U.S. was with a moving company, where a back injury led him to look for new opportunities in New York City. He then became manager of one of the largest tattoo shops in SoHo, and after a few years in that role he chose to open a studio with a different vision.

That studio became - Life Needle, where Gregory could fully dedicate himself to creating art.
