My professional career began in 2018 at Realistic Tattoo, where I had the opportunity to learn techniques, biosecurity and anatomy with one of the best tattoo artists in Curitiba. There I specialized in black and gray realism and portrait.
My first professional experience in the world of tattooing came quickly: with just one year of tattooing, at the first event I attended I was awarded best tattoo in the comics category. Because I was so new in the field, I was called a prodigy, which gave me a lot of visibility and led several companies to invite me to be part of their studios.
In 2020, I opened my own company, Só pela arte tattoo, in Curitiba, Paraná, as owner and tattoo artist. Today it is a renowned studio where we serve an average of more than 1,500 people annually. My job is to give the best experience to my customers, through both the work and the space.
Since then, I have been honored with important recognition. I was awarded at Tattoo Week — one of the largest tattoo events in the world — in the Portrait category in January 2023 in Rio, and again in a black and gray online event in 2024. I was also invited to the most exclusive event, ICONS AND PRODIGIES, which brings together only 10 tattoo artists from each category: I took part in 2025 and have been invited again in 2026.
The tattoo world is a market that has expanded in recent years, and it has provided me with trips throughout the country and abroad, discovering places I might never have known otherwise. This artistic path allows me to meet many wonderful people and places. Being a differentiated and complete tattoo artist brings me many invitations from companies to form partnerships — with ink companies, needle brands, and other suppliers in the tattoo industry. Today I am sponsored by a needle company (Official GT), inks (The Ink) and post-tattoo ointments (Panta Neo Skin). I am also sponsored by a tattoo shop (Império Tattoo Supply), which brings invitations to work as a guest in stores in Brazil and abroad, along with trips to national and international events.
