Nicholas DEVO1 Rogalski at Evolving Ink: A fusion of art and tattooing

Nicholas Rogalski, known as DEVO1, is an artist from Tucson, Arizona, whose creative spirit knows no bounds. His journey in art began in childhood, marking his parents’ hallway with a mural at just three years old, and painting a full-spectrum mural in his bedroom by age 3. These early experiences paved the way for a life immersed in artistic exploration.

Art is more than a career for DEVO1; it’s a sanctuary and a profound form of expression. With a rich background in design and experiences in diverse mediums, including graffiti and cartoon art, DEVO1 embodies the belief that there is no ultimate mastery in art, only continuous learning and evolution.
