I’m Carlos René — a tattoo artist by passion, a salsa dancer by heart. I’ve been in the tattoo world for several years and consider myself a versatile artist, comfortable working in almost any style — except fine line, which just isn’t my thing.
I love working on realism, color, and anything that pushes my creativity. I’m always looking to grow, learn, and evolve, because every tattoo is a new challenge — and I enjoy every part of the process.

Not all tattoo artists are here to intimidate you — some of us dance through life.

My not-so-hidden talent? I’m also a salsa dancer — and while that might surprise some, I believe that art takes many forms… and rhythm is definitely one of them.
Not all tattoo artists are here to intimidate you — some of us dance through life.

I deeply enjoy spending time with my family. For me, family is everything, and it’s what motivates me to keep becoming a better person and a better artist every day.

I’ve recently joined the studio, and I truly believe I can contribute a lot. I’m excited for what’s to come and ready to leave meaningful marks — on skin and in people’s lives.
