Me

Hey I’m Adrian

I’ve been tattooing for over 10 years & I love it! Not a lot of people have the luxury of waking up and being excited about going to work & it’s a gift.

I’m always after the perfect tattoo, so my aspiration is to make the next tattoo my best tattoo. I take my time & pay attention to detail, because I know you’ll be wearing it for life and it deserves that level of respect.

I’m stoked to help bring your idea to life & design a tattoo you’ll be proud to wear.

I specialize in bold color tattoos with crispy lines and smooth blends. My favorite projects are fandom & floral tattoos.. and realistic dog paws!

These projects get 1st priority but I’m always open to other ideas, so don’t hesitate to throw them my way.

Pre-tattooing

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be an artist.

I was born in Zaragoza, Spain. I moved to the US when I was 8 years old and I got my first tattoo on my 18th birthday. I worked a corporate job for 8 years after high school. It drained my soul. I began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu & mixed martial arts around this time and I competed for 5 years.

Eventually I found my way back to art and I quit my desk job on Halloween to pursue tattooing full time. It was the best decision I ever made.

LIFE

I love summer and taking my dog on walks, watching FC Barcelona, and a good movie that makes you think. I’m into working out, shooting hoops, and chistorra with a Bitter Kas 🇪🇸
