I born in a small town called Itu in São Paulo/Brazil, I am currently working as a Freestyle Bartender around the region where I live, where by the way I have a small business of cocktail services in general called Made in Brazil Eventos. I am interested in tattoos since I can remember, but never took it seriously, because until now I never had find a style that I really liked, around a year and a half I met the traditional style of tattooing and I identified greatly with it, when was around March / April 2008 I decided to invest heavily in learning this style, but in the beginning I had a very poor notion of what in fact it was the style, and had very little reference to study and my references were just Sailor Jerry and Don Ed Hardy (which I kindly stole the "Don" from his name and put it on my artistic name in honor for using his art as basis of learning at the beginning), by the way they was a great reference, but find images from their art and from other artists of this style was and still is somewhat difficult, as some people already know my designs for some time were not the best. In the beginning I have had much help from some very good friends I made in DeviantART and I am eternally grateful to them, including the MonkeyDeathCult that was encouraged me to work hard and don't give up giving me tips and etc, after several months have had another great help that came from Chris Lewis (other person that I am eternally grateful) from Darkside Clothing, he also found me on DeviantART and asked me to do some work for him, paid work itself which made me able to buy the first books that help me learn more and more about the style. otherwise, i made other friends in DeviantART, but if I put a list of all the list it would be endless here, so thank you all the tips and patience with my monumental stupidity for everyone. heheheh Currently already has other people coming to me asking for drawings exclusive designs for clothing and tattoo. So far I still not learned how to tattoo, I have no tutor and I do not know how to use a tattoo machine, but some day I want to learn all about it and, who knows, I hope taht i can make some of the best tattoo on this style here in Brazil.
