Dor Dlugatch

The artist behind Three Gates, is an Israeli originated tattooist. He's been located in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area since 2021.

Dor utilizes his demographics and traveling to create his own unique take on both American and Japanese art.

As a "guest" of the US he has found a way to appreciate and respect different cultures and his way of self-expression through their arts.

Tattoo Obsession

Dor began his way into tattooing as an 18 year old. In Israel in the 1990's tattooing was rare, seeing someone with a tattoo was interesting to Dor and he wanted to know more, see more and be tattooed. He started hanging around a shop near his home. Watching the artist there, he learned how to draw the designs and how to draw in the style of the artists.

Ink Donkey was Dor's first tattoo home and Alexey Zamotevsky was his mentor. Alexey gave Dor the knowledge of the trade and so much more. A passion for tattooing and everything it involves. To truly give your life to it and be willing to work hard, to always push yourself to the next level.

Next Steps

For six years Ink Donkey was Dor's home, working and learning from the best artists Isreal had to offer.

While still in Israel, as a part of the Ink Donkey crew, Dor had an opportunity to take part in the "Healing Ink" project. An annual event hosted by a non-profit organization "Artists of Israel". They bring tattoo artists from around the world to voluntarily tattoo victims and survivors of terror attacks, ex-soldiers and first responders. The process of getting tattooed and having "new" skin helps the tattoos through trauma and find a way to heal.

And then...

After his time with Healing Ink, it all clicked. Dor had found his calling and understood the true power of tattooing and wanted to use his ability to help others through tattooing. In the fourth year of taking part in those events Dor got an offer to go do a healing ink event in Virginia Beach, for the survivors of the mass shooting which had happened earlier that year.

As COVID took the world by surprise, Dor decided to make a move and go to the US. He started right away working at Ink & Dagger as a guest and then was a resident.

Now

After some time, Dor met Keoki and moved to his shop Perpetual Roots, where Dor is currently. Working alongside Keoki opened a whole new world of Polynesian culture and Island mentality that Dor had never been exposed to. The culture that has been practicing the art of tattooing for over 3000 years has such a rich history and so much to learn from.

The uplifting vibes at Perpetual Roots help us and our clients bond and create a safe environment for all are welcome. Working in this environment allows us to focus on our clients and provide them with the best tatting experience. We hope that this space allows then to grow and evolve through the tattooing process.
