“Brazilian, born in itu, in the countryside of São Paulo. I started to get more engaged with tattooing in 2007 after a long time working as a freestyle bartender. I always drew, visited studios and tried to get really involved into the business, but I was never able to get a traditional apprenticeship in a tattoo studio, only in 2012, after a long time trying, receiving several "no" from differente tattooers around my area, never giving up, I was accepted as apprentice by Chacal Tattoo in Piracicaba / São Paulo.
From the beginning I was more interested in iconic drawings, Traditional American and European designs. I acquired recognition for doing this kind of designs outside Brazil, doing a lot of painting jobs, drawing traditional old school portraits, studios business cards, etc.
I like Traditional style because of the “Bold Will Hold” mentality, it means that this kind of tattoos will last over time. You will look at the tattoos and identify what is, what it represents, despite the action of time on the skin. After all, they remain in circulation since before 1890 until today.
Doing comics and illustration, I immediately gravitated to inking and trying to perfect my linework. Working on tattoo commissions for many clients over the years hel
