Questions & answers

Where are you from? I was born and have lived all my life in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
How long have you been tattooing? Since 2015.
What inspired you to become a tattoo artist? Being able to unite art and the possibility of travelling and getting to know different cultures. My love for drawing and the discovery of tattooing myself led me to understand that I wanted to dedicate myself to this and develop as a tattoo artist.
What is your background? My studies are technical, I specialised in telecommunications, and I worked in television and radio for a while. Whenever I studied art and drawing I did it in a self-taught way.
What style do you specialise in? Black and grey (including portraits), blackwork, dotwork.
What do you like to do in your spare time? I am 35 years old, and I still enjoy drawing as much as I did when I was 12. Today I spend most of my free time drawing. I also really like to train, and lead a healthy life. I like watching movies and TV series, music, and social activities.
What’s your favourite kind of tattoo to do? I like to immerse myself for hours so I can translate an idea that I have in my head onto paper or skin while managing to find an original and realistic result for my client to see. Above all, I love the satisfaction of finishing a piece and feeling that I couldn’t have done it better.
What’s the coolest tattoo you’ve done? It could be the one that gave me first place in a tattoo convention in dotwork style. It is the face of a Geisha, divided in half, with a demon inside and flowers around it. I feel that I managed to achieve what I set out to do; unite all the styles I enjoy doing and accompany the anatomy of the leg delicately without losing impact, all in a competitive and very demanding environment.
