I have been a tattoo artist for 8 years, graduated in Graphic Design, and have been drawing for 16 years.
My specialty in tattooing is colorful fauna and flora.
Over the years, I have studied and mastered several techniques that allow me to perform a variety of themes within my style.
Plants, animals, mushrooms, insects, objects, words, portraits, renovations and cover-up tattoos are always welcome...
Creative Process
Freehand
Done with a pen, directly on your body, it is a method that allows the tattoo's composition to fit perfectly with the anatomy of the area chosen for tattooing. Ideal for large compositions.
As it is a method that requires more time, it is common to split the process into at least two sessions. The first one focused on drawing and tattooing the lines of the structure of the drawing, and the next one on continuing the details, colors, etc.
Photos
One or more photographs are digitally adjusted to work as a tattoo. There is no drawing; the stencil is made straight from the photo.
Perfect for tattoos that require fidelity to details, such as a portrait of a pet, a specific species of insect, or a very detailed object.
It is a quick method and is usually ideal for small tattoos.
Authoral Designs ✦ Flash
Drawing and painting are my favorite methods to study new compositions to tattoo, these studies eventually become flash designs, that are meant to be tattooed just once.
As I am always studying new ideas to improve my work, I offer the opportunity to tattoo these studies, often at a promotional price, without altering the original design.
