I was introduced to art and tattooing via the skateboard culture in the late 90s and the punk / hardcore music scene. I started tattooing professionally in 2008, working in São Paulo – Brasil in some of the most legendary local shops like Daggers, New Wind and Secret Door.
In 2018 I started traveling around Europe and Southeast Asia doing Guest spots, living in hotels and airbnbs until I decided to move with my family to Lisbon in 2023.
Balancing between traditional and modern aesthetics, while combining classical tattooing techniques with contemporary elements, I always try to create designs that are both timeless and innovative.
Blending elements of graphic art, folk art, spiritual and religious archetypes with american traditional designs.

Yes I absolutely accept walk-ins but they are treated on a first come, first served basis. I generally have time to do small tattoos the same day, but if you want something specific on a specific day it’s always best to set up an appointment to make sure I have the time to better serve your needs.
The best way to book is to come in person the shop. This way I can give you the most personalized experience possible.
If booking online, don’t waste time and fill out the “BOOK ONLINE” form.
Yes, a €50 or €100 deposit is required to book an appointment. The deposit amount is based on the size of the tattoo and amount of sessions the tattoo will take to complete.
If you did not leave a deposit, you do not have an appointment.
All deposits are non-refundable.
If you need to reschedule your appointment, you must inform me with a minimum of 48 hours notice.
I take PAYPAL, MBWAY and cash, but the preferred payment method is always cash.
(* There’s an ATM in front of the shop.)
Yes, the minimum rate is €80.
A minimum rate tattoo is something very small and simple in a relatively simple area.

Before being an artist, I’m a tattooer. So I do tattoo in all styles that work, Japanese, Tribal or Black and Gray.

Carefully remove the bandage and tape. If the bandage sticks to the tattoo, use lukewarm water to gently peel it off.
DO NOT forcefully peel it off and always be gentle in the process!
Make a lather in your hands with soap and warm water.
NO washcloths, bath towels or sponges should be used on a fresh tattoo.
Gently clean the tattoo until it looks clean. Rinse the tattoo gently.
Pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel and allow it to fully air dry. DO NOT SCRUB.
Once the tattoo is dry, apply a very small amount of Aquaphor or Bepanthen. Gently rub the ointment into your tattoo. Dab any excess off gently with a clean paper towel.
Clean your tattoo this way once or twice a day for the first 2-3 days.
When the tattoo is healed, feel free to send me a pic by e-mail or show up at the shop!
Clean towels, bedding and clothes are highly recommended during the healing process.
Showering is fine, however, please DO NOT soak your tattoo for at least 2 weeks. This means no swimming, baths or submerging your tattoo in water for long periods of time.
Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo for at least 2 weeks after your tattoo is fully healed. After that, I advise putting on sunblock (minimum SPF 50) on your tattoo whenever you find yourself in direct sunlight for the rest of your life. The sun will undoubtedly cause damage and compromise the longevity of your tattoo.
Wear loose clothing (preferably cotton) and avoid constricting accessories like bra straps and tight waistbands over a fresh tattoo. Avoid dirty, sweaty or itchy clothing as they can create healing problems.
