David Mendoza

📍Madrid, Spain


David Mendoza is a tattoo artist originally from Margarita Island, Venezuela. His journey began in late 2009 as a self-taught artist, driven by a deep need for expression and a search for meaning. Throughout his career, he has lived and worked in cities such as Paris, Oslo, Panama City, Santiago de Chile, Barcelona, and Zurich—experiences that have enriched his technique and artistic vision. Based in Madrid since 2018, he began formal academic studies in 2020, integrating technical tools into his creative evolution. His style is defined by precision, symbolism, and emotional connection with each story he tattoos. Through his approach, which he calls Conscious Art, he transforms the skin into a canvas filled with purpose, spirituality, and profound beauty.


David Mendoza’s work specializes in realism, with a high-level technical approach and a strong symbolic foundation. His style, which he defines as Conscious Art, transforms each tattoo into a composition that integrates artistic concepts, cultural elements, and symbols that tell deep personal stories.In addition to his artistic work, he is developing an educational platform based on his conscious learning method—aimed at both training new generations and helping professional tattoo artists refine their technique and knowledge. His goal is to expand tattooing as an art form with purpose—capable of healing, narrating, and elevating the human experience through the skin.
