JONHY - Favorite styles: Nordic
Avantgarde Tattoo Resident
I trained first in Fine Arts and later in Illustration at the Escola Joso in Barcelona. Over ten years ago, I began my tattoo journey under the name Jonny Intro. This experience has allowed me to travel to countries like Germany, Sweden, Norway, and Thailand, perfect my style, and connect with people from all over the world.
My work identifies with the tattoo sketch, a language where the graphic stroke and the freshness of watercolor are intertwined.
I understand tattooing as a constant process of learning and evolution, with the goal of always offering the best of myself in each piece and for each client.
ESTANISLAU - Preferred styles: Ornamental
Avantgarde Tattoo Resident
Am Estanislao Narváez, an Argentine tattoo artist born in Rosario, with more than eight years dedicated to exploring different languages within tattooing. My work transits between the fine-line, the botanical, the geometric, black work and the black and gray, always seeking that each style finds its place on the body of the person who wears it.
I conceive each tattoo as a dialogue between the idea and the anatomy, a search for balance and fluidity that allows the design to blend with the skin. My goal is to create pieces that not only respond to the client's desires but also exude movement, naturalness, and their own unique character.

The origin of the Nordic style in tattoos
The nordic tattoos They have their origins in the Viking culture, a people who inhabited the cold lands of Scandinavia between the 8th and 11th centuries. These warriors, known for their skill as sailors and their ferocity in battle, wore symbols engraved on their skin as a form of spiritual protection and connection with their gods. Although no direct remains of tattoos have been found on Viking mummies, Arab and European historical chronicles of the time describe the Norsemen with skin marked with figures and runes.
Viking society was deeply connected to mythology and the forces of nature. Each symbol had a special meaning: from the search for strength and courage in combat, to guidance on sea voyages or protection from enemies. Tattoos became a kind of personal talisman that accompanied each individual throughout their life, and were even believed to protect them in their passage to the Valhalla, the paradise of fallen warriors.
In addition, Norse tattoos also reflected the social and cultural structure of the Vikings. The most complex designs were associated with high-ranking warriors or people with a prominent role in the community. Over time, these symbols were passed down from generation to generation, keeping alive a legacy that to this day inspires thousands of people looking for a tattoo full of meaning. history, spirituality and strength.

The "Viking compass" is one of the most popular symbols. It represents a guide to staying on track in life and finding the right path even in the worst of times.
The runic system was not just an alphabet; each rune had a mystical power. They are perfect for writing names, dates, or phrases with a deep, personal meaning. Legend has it that Odin created the runes as a sacrifice for humanity.
The "Mask of Terror" was an amulet that Norse warriors tattooed on their faces to instill fear in their enemies and protect themselves in battle.
