f.a.q.

  • Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was surrounded by culture and loved to express myself through my drawings. I did not take any formal art classes but I learned what I could and pushed myself to get better. Creativity is an important part of who I am. Before tattoos I did a lot of sketchbook drawings and graphic art designs. Mostly for fun or for friends’ creative projects. Now I have been tattooing my designs on people for over 4 years and have grown such a passion for it. I am still new to the game and I continue to learn with each and every design. Body art is a life-long love of mine and I am grateful to be able to do what I do.

  • I am just a regular guy with a family and 2 dogs. I just so happen to really love anime, video games, meeting awesome people and discussing my favorite fan theories! (Hello, One Piece fans!) I enjoy creating unique and detailed designs that bring my clients favorite things to life. I love what I do and the connections that I make during the process. Whether someone is in my chair for 1 hour or 12 hours, it is always a good time.

  • After the initial consultation and deposit, I get started right away to create an original design that my client will love. References are always handy but not necessary, so if you have a cool idea I will do my best to bring it to life for you!

  • Collaborative, honest, and fun! From start to finish my goal is always to create a comfortable and relaxing environment for all of my clients. Most tattoos are fast but others may take multiple sessions. My clients should expect to hear some good music, fun conversation and all the anime recommendations they would like!

  • I do not use AI to build my designs. When you work with me you will get a real human artistic touch! AI is cool and definitely useful, but I like to create my own designs.

  • That is so awesome and I am honored to do it! Here is some info to know before you get your first tattoo:

    Tattoos take time to heal. In order for them to look their best for the longest amount of time you will want to keep them hydrated/lubricated. Especially when you first get them! I recommend using a scent-free lotion if you can. I always use Aquaphor on my fresh tattoos.

    Speaking of fresh tattoos, you will want to avoid any water activities until your new tat is done healing! I recommend waiting at least 6 weeks before any swimming in any body of water, even a bathtub!

    You can expect some mild swelling, redness, itchiness, tenderness, light peeling in some areas. This is all normal and will go away quickly with proper care. See the “Aftercare Instructions” for more info.

  • Before your appointment try to bulk up on calories and hydrate as much as possible! Tattoos are fun but can take a bigger toll on your body when you neglect these two factors. You can also bring snacks and drinks to your appointment if you’d like. You may thank yourself later!

    1. Keep your tattoo clean by washing gently with antibacterial soap 2-3 times a day. Or anytime you need to reapply lubricant.

    2. Keep your tattoo lubricated with a thin layer of unscented moisturizer. I recommend Aquaphor healing ointment or an unscented lotion you know works well for you.

    3. DO NOT expose your tattoo to direct sunlight. It will hurt and you will regret it.

    4. AVOID swimming and/or bathing in any large bodies of water. This means no pools, beaches, spas/hot tubs.
