Where are you from?
I’m originally from Venezuela, from a small city called Ciudad Ojeda in Zulia state.
How long have you been tattooing?
I’ve been tattooing for over 11 years, starting my journey back in Venezuela.
What inspired you to become a tattoo artist?
It began as a necessity; I wanted to support my family. But at the same time, I had always been deeply connected to art. I was already drawing portraits, and people around me encouraged me to take it further. That’s when I realised tattooing could become my path, not just as a profession, but as a purpose.
What is your background?
I’ve been drawing since I was a child, and by my early teens, I was already focused on realism. I also studied mechanical engineering, which gave me a strong sense of structure and discipline, something that still influences my work today.
What style do you specialise in?
I specialise in black and grey realism, with a strong focus on smooth gradients and opaque grey tones to create depth, contrast, and longevity in the skin.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy simple things, spending time with my dogs, staying active through sports like padel, and travelling. Those moments help me reset and stay creatively inspired.
What’s your favourite kind of tattoo to do?
Portraits will always be my favourite, especially when they carry emotional meaning. I’m also drawn to compositions that combine human expression with elements of nature.
What’s the coolest tattoo you’ve done?
There’s one piece I did in Spain that stands out. It was a portrait where I pushed detail to a new level, freckles, skin texture, and the eyes. That piece marked a turning point, where people really started to recognise my style.
