Avantgarde Tattoo Resident

I understand tattooing as an exchange of trust in which my clients allow me to tell their story through a work of craftsmanship.

For me, it's about more than just tattoos, it's a way of dignifying the beauty of all bodies, of claiming the things that mark them, that matter to them and that are part of their unique personality. All tattoos are important to me and will be made with all the love and dedication available.

Avantgarde Tattoo Resident

Venezuelan architect, photographer and illustrator. He has been designing and creating tattoos since 2010, influenced by urban culture and street art, combining classic and modern graphic styles. This is how, between harmonies and contrasts, he creates unique designs that capture contemporary ideas.
 
«Each person is a world, that is why with each client I take advantage of the inspiration that arises in the conversation prior to the tattoo, to generate graphic proposals that reflect that special combination of ideas from both.»

KATE KEITOH - Favorite styles Realism, Surrealism, Color, Black and Grey​

Avantgarde Tattoo Resident

Hi, I'm Kate. I really enjoy creating: drawing, tattooing, and bringing ideas to life. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember.

I'm quite a geek—especially when it comes to video games—and I love getting tattoos related to that theme. I also love anime and everything connected to Japanese culture and folklore.

I specialize in color work, cartoons, anime, blackwork with a tribal touch, Japanese illustration, and fine line art. I enjoy creating projects from scratch: creatures, characters, ornaments…
Oh, and I adore kittens. A lot.

If you have any questions or want to discuss a project, feel free to write to me.

Characteristics of anime tattoos

Anime tattoos have very identifiable characteristics, allowing us to instantly identify what we're looking at. These characteristics are:

All anime tattoos are inspired by characters from comics , manga, Japanese animated series or movies , so your repertoire of options is quite broad.

Color palette , this is another aspect that distinguishes anime tattoos. To begin with, there are no limitations regarding color and all of them are quite strong; there are no dull tones within anime tattoos.

Anime characters typically have large, expressive eyes, a small nose and mouth, a flat face, and, regardless of age, very youthful features.

If you have a favorite anime character you'd like to get tattooed, go for it! We highly recommend finding an artist with extensive experience in this genre or a related tattoo style, as recreating any anime character requires considerable skill. It's not just about capturing the essence of the character you want to immortalize on your skin; it also means consulting an expert in anime tattoos who can provide you with a unique and exclusive design.

Best styles to make anime tattoos

Below we will tell you the most suitable styles for creating anime tattoos. If you are considering getting a tattoo of this type, make sure that your tattoo artist is a specialist in one of these styles and you are guaranteed to get the best results.

NEW SCHOOL

New school tattoos are one of the best options when you are looking for a spectacular representation of anime tattoos. This is because the new school is characterized by using a very rich and vibrant range of colors, its style is very striking, the shadows are very well worked to create a 3D effect which makes this the perfect style to create anime tattoos.

ILLUSTRATIVE

Illustrative tattoos can be another perfect option for recreating some of the most famous anime. The difference between the previous option and this one will be the effect and level of depth you want to achieve. That is, you should choose between a 3D-style design or a drawing in which your favorite anime looks like a painting or perhaps a sketch.

JAPANESE

The Japanese tattoo style creates its designs by working with sharp angles and creating exaggerated features, so it can easily adapt to anime tattoos, especially when you want to recreate anime from the horror genre since the effects generated are truly incredible.
