Philosophy

I don’t tattoo to decorate the body.

I build a composition that belongs to it.

I began tattooing in 2018. I chose Irezumi because it demands more than technique: study, discipline, patience and respect for tradition.

Every design is developed around movement, proportion and the way the body carries an image over time.

Selected projects

Work with a story.

Complete projects presented through process, detail, final composition and the people who carry them.
