Where are you from?
I'm from Brazil.
How long have you been tattooing?
Since 1999.
What inspired you to become a tattoo artist?
My lifestyle, rock’n’roll attitude, curiosity, and my passion for art.
What is your background?
I didn’t go to college, I had some private lessons such as realism using graphite, watercolour, and oil painting techniques though. I started tattooing when I was 19 and since then I’ve been living for it, basically studying and drawing every day. I would say that tattoo studios were my college. I was always in contact with other tattooers, enjoying tattoo conventions, and travelling as much as I could to meet people in this field.
What style do you specialise in?
I started doing realism and then I went through traditional, Japanese, neo-traditional, and sketch blackwork. My style is a never-ending journey of growth. I'm all about experimenting and infusing my experiences and knowledge into every piece I create. It's a wild ride, and I'm loving every minute of it!
What’s your favourite kind of tattoo to do?
My preferred tattoo styles are traditional, all of them. I believe they form the foundation for understanding what works, not just as tattoos but also in terms of enhancing body flow.
