In 1997, I embarked on my tattooing journey, getting inked for the first time. This initial experience ignited a passion that grew over time. I joined the Bontem family, a heavyweight crew in the Japanese tattoo scene. By 2006, the studio owner became my sensei, and after two years of hard work, training, and studying, I began tattooing professionally. Now, almost 18 years on the road, I'm constantly learning and evolving.

Style

My style blends oriental and neo-school elements with vibrant colors. While versatile in various styles, my love for colors is evident in my work. I delve into traditional Japanese, the famous 'Wabori,' adding a unique touch to my portfolio.

Memorable

Tattooing memorable figures, the highlight was inking Andreas Kisser from Sepultura. Bringing my admiration for the band to life on his skin was amazing. Friends like Dante from Sepultura and bands like Jinjer from Ukraine, Ratos de Porão, and Krisiun contribute to my journey.
