About me

Childhood

As a child, I enjoyed spending hours drawing everything I saw or imagined. This love for art was the beginning of a lifelong passion.

Teenage Years

During my teenage years, I began drawing on my classmates' skin, fulfilling their requests and experimenting with creative designs. One day, a teacher suggested that I enroll in a vocational school to pursue a career in graphic design. However, I decided to take a different path: I enrolled in an art school where I could refine my skills as a draftsman, with a clear vision of dedicating my future to the world of tattooing—a passion that had already ignited within me.

Early Tattooing Days

The beginning wasn’t easy. In my home country, tattoos were stigmatized as something associated with criminals. Moreover, the necessary materials were not locally produced and had to be imported. This led me to start my journey with a handmade machine I built myself and Chinese ink originally intended for drawing. The first tattoos I ever did were on my own skin.

Learning Process

Despite the challenges, I never questioned my decision to pursue this path. On the contrary, every obstacle gave me more strength to keep going. With the help of the right people, who were also on the same journey, I learned everything step by step. I worked tirelessly to match the level of tattoo artists in the United States whom I deeply admired.

Currently

Today, after more than 10 years dedicated to the art of tattooing, I work at a tattoo studio in Gainesville, Florida. I live fully from my passion, surrounded by the love of my beautiful family.
