From Canvas to Skin: Chrome and Gold Tattoos

For years, the focus has been on creating art through painting, developing a distinct style inspired by metallic finishes — shiny chrome and radiant gold. It’s a blend of nostalgia and futuristic edge, where iconic pop culture characters — like Mario Bros, Pokémon, and The Simpsons — are reimagined with a bold, reflective look.

Now, that same visual language is being brought to the skin.

Turning these paintings into tattoos has become a natural evolution. It's not just about recreating well-known figures — it's about transforming them into radiant versions with depth, highlights, and a finish that feels like sculpted metal or molten gold.

Each tattoo tells a story. It’s a fusion of childhood memories and modern aesthetics, brought to life with a technique that’s vibrant, original, and full of personality.

The goal is to keep exploring this style and share it with those looking for something different — something that stands out, shines, and feels iconic.
