Hand tattoos usually need a touch up later on

I like bold line tattoos because they last but I love combine them with thin lines it makes them look more interesting than same thickness lines. Is important to check if your artist is able to combine fine lines and thick lines because in the time is possible they blend together if it is not properly made

For the last 5 years I have been managing a project where I was initially tutoring visual artists who were starting University. Gradually I began curating to show our results.
Tattooing is an extension of my artistic practice. Over the last three years Virgin Studio open a place for me to grow as professional, with the tattoos we get some found to be invested in the production of visual arts. That is how Virgin Studio transformed into the operation that exists today.
El Salvador (my place of origin), is a country with very particular stigmas in relation to tattoos, for decades tattoos have been directly connected to menace and extreme gang violence. Virgin Studio has worked to change that impression by focusing on small tattoos that any person interested in tattoos can feel comfortable with. A new generation of young people interested in tattooing are defining and giving new meaning to the popular medium.
The curatorial section of Virgin Studio is under my charge and now I am developing a project in NY in which the body is used as a room in a museum, gallery or alternative space. I am currently involved in a curatorship where I select the work of artists whose proposals are compelling and are then transferred to the body while preserving the essential elements of the original idea.
The work still belongs to the artist, the person who chooses to use their body as the canvas becomes the collector and in this case, the actual gallery or Museum. I serve as the intermediary that facilitates a channel of communication between the two.
Tattoos inspired by nature elements

I love ancient cultures, arquitectura, nature and art history. I use to live in Mexico and for a couple of years I did a lot of photography sometimes profesional sometimes not.

The images on this page are inspired by contemporary and classic art history artist.
The main image with the TV on the menu is from Nam June Paik Zen for TV1963/1981 at the MoMa Museum but I created new drawings on the inside thinking on the origins of video art
By tattoing or doing visual artwork, I met a couple of famous people, I can’t do pictures most of the time but if possible this will be a little place for those memories.
