My name is Manuel Pérez, actually I am 25 years old and I can proudly say that I am a tattoo artist. One of the first things that I can remember is meeting a friend of my family, he was a tattoo artist. I got instantly attracted to the tattoo world. He and my uncle, his best friend, took me to conventions, bought me books from artists, tattoo magazines… Among which was Global Tattoo Magazines. So, as you can guess, this is something very special to me. I started watching tv shows, reading, drawing designs and learning by myself about tattooing.  At the age of 13, I decided to dedicate myself to tattooing. And I´ve been working since then, starting my career 6 years ago. 

Drawing its been always part of my life, on my 14´s I actually used broken tattoo machines attatched to my pencils, just to get familiarized with the weight and stuff like that. In my 6 years of career I´ve been practicing many styles, but I would say that Blackwork was my first favourite. This style made me learn the Dotwork techquique, wich now I use for my actually favourite style, that is making Anime tattoos. Since my childhood I´ve always love anime, games, etc... I made references in my designs but this last year I finally let myself dive completely in this world.   Anyways I always try to reinvent myself so, there are new things coming.
