My journey in the art of tattooing
I’ve always loved drawing and painting since I was a child. Over the years, that love for art kept growing, until one day I felt the urge to try it on skin. I saved up some money and bought my first coil machine. I started doing small tattoos on family, friends, and people close to me who always supported me with trust and hope.
In early 2018, I started working at Indeleble Tattoo. From the very beginning, it felt like home. The energy, the exchange of knowledge between colleagues, the painting, the environment… everything just came together naturally, like a good family.
Tattooing has become a path of constant learning for me. I want to keep growing, improving every day, giving my best in every tattoo and painting. I hope to travel, discover new cultures, keep studying… and in some way, leave my little mark in the world of art.
How did you start working and who inspired you?
I’ve always felt a deep passion for art. In my family, creativity was ever-present — I grew up surrounded by music and theatre, which awakened a special sensitivity in me.
Through curiosity and continuous exploration, both theoretical and practical, I discovered tattooing. That journey opened the door to other forms of expression like photography, cinema, and painting.
Today, my inspiration comes from the union of all artistic languages. I find beauty in how they connect with one another, and in how each one adds something unique to the way I see and create.
What do you focus on when creating your work?
Nowadays, my tattoos are centered around black and grey realism. Capturing a person’s likeness on skin is something that truly excites me, and I’d say it’s one of my strongest areas as an artist.
In painting, I’m drawn to a darker surrealism. I find beauty in fear—most of the time, in creatures that emerge from my thoughts and come to life on the canvas.
One day, I’d love to bring everything I’ve explored in my paintings into tattooing, blending both worlds into a technique that expresses the deepest parts of my imagination.
About drawing
For me, drawing has always been the starting point. It’s more than just a technique — it’s a way of observing, understanding, and building the world around me. Through each line, I find clarity, even when everything outside feels like noise.
I’ve studied drawing from many perspectives: academic, intuitive, and symbolic. I’m interested not only in its ability to capture reality but also in how it can distort and transform it. My studies have taken me through anatomy, composition, light and shadow — but also gesture, emotion, and the freedom of the line.
Every drawing is a conversation between the mind and the hand, a constant search for balance between what I imagine and what I feel. Drawing is my foundation, my compass, and often, my refuge.
