About the artist

John Doe

15,123 followers

Twelve years behind the machine. I started in a garage in São Paulo, learned the hard way, and never lost the obsession with clean lines and quiet detail.

I work mostly in blackwork, traditional and fine line. Every piece is custom, drawn by hand, and we only book it once the design feels right. No rushed flash, no trends I don't believe in.

The studio is small on purpose. One client at a time, full attention.

Real testimonials

Words from the chair.

John takes his time. We talked for an hour before he even drew a line. The piece feels like mine, not a template.

Marina S.
Fine line botanical, forearm

Three sessions in and the consistency is unreal. Healed lines look exactly like day one. Worth every minute.

Rafael T.
Blackwork sleeve

I was terrified of getting tattooed. He made the whole thing feel calm. Honest about pain, honest about price.

Camila P.
Traditional swallow, chest

Brought a blurry photo of my grandfather. He turned it into the most detailed portrait I've ever seen on skin.

Diego A.
Realism portrait, calf

The studio vibe is everything. Music low, no rush, no upselling. Just focus and great work.

Larissa M.
Dotwork mandala, shoulder

I went in with a vague idea, left with something I'm still staring at six months later. Best money I've spent.

Tomás R.
Neo traditional tiger, thigh

FAQ

Good questions.Honest answers.

Yes, but less than you think. Some spots sting more (ribs, feet, inner arm). I work in calm sessions with breaks, and most people are surprised by how manageable it is.

Small custom pieces start at a fixed minimum. Larger work is quoted per session, not per hour, so you know exactly what you're paying. I send a clear quote before booking.

I treat first timers with extra care. We go over everything in person, you can sit on it, ask anything, and we only book once you're sure.

Yes, one free touch up within 90 days if anything heals unevenly. Just message me a photo and we schedule it.

One person is fine, especially for longer sessions. The studio stays quiet, so no big groups.

You get a simple aftercare card with the piece. Two weeks of basic care, no overthinking. I follow up to check how it's healing.

Pix, credit card, or cash. A small deposit secures the date and goes toward the final price.

Reschedule with 48h notice and your deposit moves with you. Less than that, the deposit is kept to cover the slot.
