What are your favorite subjects to tattoo / what would you like to do more of?
It’s not easy to make a choice because my designs tend to be very versatile concerning themes.
I’ve always enjoyed poking cartoons and all sorts of doodles, but I’m also a sucker for more ‘serious’ architectural drawings.
Lately, I have started to reincorporate colour to my work and I am quite focused on that at the moment.

How did you start tattooing and what drove you to pursuit?
It’s been nine years since I first entered the tattoo industry. When I turned 18 I got my first tattoo and I fell in love with the whole process, so I saved up some money and bought two crappy machines.
I started practicing on myself a lot and then I started hanging out at the studio basically everyday. All I did was watching the artists work and asking a lot of questions.
After some time I was offered an apprentice position and I worked there for almost two years.
However, something didn’t feel ‘right’ but I didn’t know what it was. Back then, I was tattooing with coil and doing traditional work mostly. Don’t get me wrong, I love trad but it just wasn’t my thing.
The situation at the studio was also very tense and I didn’t feel comfortable there nor satisfied with my own performance either. So I quit.I got introduced to handpoke later on, and I just started tattooing friends again for fun. Around that time, I also started working as the manager in a different studio.
That experience was actually amazing, even though I kind of sucked at the job. All the artists were incredibly inspiring and I think I have never drawn as much as I did while working there.
After a couple of months, I graduated at university and decided that I actually wanted to make handpoke my only source of income and that was now two years ago.

What are 3 small things that make you happy?
Traveling, good books and good beer.
If there is something you could change in the tattoo industry what would it be?
Uf this one is hard! The tattoo industry is very different in every country so it really depends on the perspective. And well, I’m torn between my two countries of origin.
Something that I feel needs to change in Spain is the cold and stiff experience you get at most studios. I would love to make the tattoo world just a bit more open and accesible.
The goal is for both artists and clients to feel safe and comfortable in a space that’s just welcoming and warm and where everybody is treated with equal kindness and respect.
Always with a 0% tolerance attitude towards any racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and overall violent behaviors, of course 🔥
