Passionate about tattooing from a young age, he has continuously refined his craft to align his artistic work with his personal vision: tattoos that are meaningful, balanced, and perfectly suited to the individual.

​

Highly attentive to his clients’ ideas, Julio places great importance on dialogue and collaboration. Each project is developed together to create a fully custom tattoo, based on personal meaning, cultural significance, and stylistic intention.
