The abstract flower tattoo inked on a client’s back ignited mixed reactions. Some critics dismissed it as mere scribbles, while others questioned its high price tag. Supporters argued that artistic value is subjective and emphasized the importance of client satisfaction.

The discussion centered on whether it qualified as “real art” or just another ordinary tattoo in Berlin. Despite the controversy, the video garnered 2.5 million views and over 103k likes on TikTok, boosting Mykhailo’s following to 39k.
