About Me 👋
I’m a professional tattoo artist specializing in large-scale, hyper-realistic tattoos, sought after by clients from around the world. With over a decade of experience, my work stands out as true art on the skin.
Originally from Portugal, I brought my passion to Houston, TX, where I continue to refine my unique style and leave my mark on the tattoo industry. Beyond tattooing, I’m a mentor to fellow artists, offering courses to help them elevate their craft.
Every tattoo I create is meticulously designed to transform skin into a living masterpiece. If you're looking for exceptional realism, explore my portfolio and let’s create something unforgettable.
“IT'S NOT JUST A TATTOO,
IT'S A PIECE THAT STANDS
THE TEST OF TIME".

My day session rates vary depending on the project size and session count:
$2,000 – Large-scale tattoos requiring more than 4 sessions
$2,500 – Projects that take less than 3 sessions
$3,000 – Single-session pieces, such as portraits and standalone designs
The number of sessions required depends on the complexity of the piece, client’s body size, detail level, and how the skin reacts (such as bleeding and healing factors).
Here’s a general estimate:
Full Arm Sleeve: 7-8 day sessions
Forearm Sleeve: 2-3 day sessions
Full Leg Sleeve: 8-10 day sessions
Back Piece: 7-10 day sessions
Chest Piece: 2-3 day sessions

Every tattoo deserves time and precision. Each image must fit perfectly with the body’s natural flow, creating compositions that follow its lines and curves. The goal is to design a unique piece that maintains its quality and detail for years. My focus is always on the fully healed result.
-
Although my portfolio is 100% black and grey, I do some color work when it fits my style. However, colors fade faster due to sun exposure and require more maintenance over the years, unlike my black and grey technique, which retains its quality for a lifetime with proper care.
-
Even though I receive daily inquiries, I only accept projects that fit my portfolio and artistic vision. On average, my booking window is 2-3 months. However, once a client starts a project with me, they can continue booking sessions until their tattoo is finished even if my bookings are close.
-
The design phase is the most important part of the tattoo. I dedicate an entire day exclusively to research, creation, and image selection to ensure that I never work under creative pressure.
The design is revealed on the first scheduled session, using a precisely crafted 3D model that aligns with the client’s theme and my artistic vision.

My sessions start at 9:30 AM. Everything is prepared in advance, including the workstation, inks, and multiple stencil sizes, so we can start immediately.
• By 9:40 AM, the paperwork is done, and we begin tattooing.
• I rarely take breaks unless the client requests. Around 12:00 PM, we stop for a quick 10-20 minute lunch.
• I maximize productivity during sessions, ensuring no time is wasted.
• Most sessions finish around 3-4 PM, but if extra time is needed, I don’t charge additional fees.
I dedicate my time to ensuring everything is set up perfectly, so my clients have the best experience possible, spending only the necessary time in the studio.
-
Absolutely not. Clients pay per session at the end of each tattooing day.
For example, if a full arm sleeve takes 7-8 sessions, you do not have to pay for all sessions upfront. You simply pay as you go, scheduling additional sessions at your own pace.

Yes! Just fill out the booking form, and my team will review your request. If your idea is a good fit for my portfolio, they will respond within 2-5 days with all the details needed to secure your booking dates.
My team is always in direct contact with me, so you can communicate with them at any time. This allows me to fully focus on my creative process and execution while ensuring you receive fast and professional assistance.
-
Yes. Deposits are a way to honor the commitment between the client and the artist.
• The deposit is $500 per booked session.
• It is fully deducted from the final session price.
• This ensures that your appointment is secured and everything is ready for your tattoo session.
Deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances because we take our work very seriously, and we appreciate the same level of commitment from our clients.
If, for any reason, I ever need to cancel your appointment, your deposit will be refunded (this has never happened in 15 years).
