Carlos is a guest tattoo artist specialising in realism, known for his attention to detail, smooth shading, and ability to bring depth and emotion to his work. His style focuses on creating highly refined, lifelike tattoos that translate strong reference imagery into pieces that read clearly and age beautifully on the skin.

Working primarily within realism, Carlos places a strong emphasis on contrast, texture, and composition. Each tattoo is carefully planned to suit the body, ensuring natural flow and balance while maintaining clarity and impact. From portraits to detailed illustrative realism, his work is driven by precision and a deep understanding of light, shadow, and form.

Carlos approaches every project collaboratively, taking the time to understand each client’s idea and refine it into a design that feels personal and considered. His calm, focused process and commitment to quality are reflected in tattoos that feel polished, intentional, and built to last.

Carlos will be guesting in Middlesbrough for a limited time.
