ABEL MIRANDA - Preferred Styles: Abstract, Avant-garde, Organic, Patterns, Geometry, Color, Trash and Splash
Avantgarde Tattoo
His compositions usually cover large areas of the body and adapt to the anatomy perfectly, reinforcing the natural lines of the body and creating new structures in it.
These designs are created by distilling the idea and feelings of the person who will carry it with them, and are translated into the plastic language of Abel, to express in depth what the client feels, and to make the most of the artist's creativity. In addition, the composition is built together on the skin of the person who will wear it, so that both are part of the process.
ANDREA POPESCU - Preferred styles: Watercolor, Color, Surrealism and Sketch
Avantgarde Tattoo Resident
I define myself as the “colorful artist”, choosing most of the time to spread my inner child in my artworks. I love making cartoons, animation, realistic, old school, traditional and neo traditional, graphic and geometric, as long as they contain color. I personalize my designs to adapt them to the client's perspective, personality, theme and taste, always maintaining my authentic style.

ANDREA KROKI - Preferred style: Watercolor
Avantgarde Tattoo Guest
My name is Andrea Kroki, I live in Sicily (Italy) and I am a tattoo artist all over the world. Since I was a child I have been curious about drawing and art, I am passionate about painting and street art, and I started tattooing in 2016.
After years of study and experiences, I began to travel and collaborate with some of the most important studios in Italy and later throughout Europe. I love traveling and being in contact with other artists and I think it is very important for personal and artistic growth. .
I love the pictorial and abstract style. I like being able to reproduce details of real paint on the skin, creating something unique and unrepeatable.

What are watercolor tattoos?
Watercolor tattoos represent an aesthetic revolution that breaks with traditional tattooing conventions. Inspired by the watercolor painting technique , these designs capture the fluid and translucent essence of this art form, where color expands freely without the constraints of defined black lines.
Unlike conventional tattooing, watercolor embraces controlled imperfection , smudges that appear accidental but are intentional, and gradients that blend as if water had guided the pigment. It is liquid art crystallized in time , a watercolor that will never fully dry.
Characteristics of the watercolor style
The chromatic blend becomes the absolute protagonist. The colors not only coexist, but also converse, overlap, and create unexpected nuances through the technique of transparencies and gradients . Each simulated brushstroke requires a deep understanding of how pigments interact under the skin, how superimposed layers behave, and how to achieve that feeling of perpetual freshness.
The effect of spontaneous brushstrokes is achieved through a meticulous technique that, paradoxically, must be planned to appear improvised. It is the mastery of simulating controlled accident , where each "drop" of color that seems to have fallen by chance is part of a carefully orchestrated composition.

Tips before getting a tattoo
However, before getting the tattoo, it is very important that we evaluate the considerations detailed below:
Hydrate well in the weeks leading up to the event, avoid intense sun exposure, and make sure you arrive well-rested and in good general condition.
This style works best with fluid, emotional ideas, such as memories, moods, or abstract natural symbols.
Watercolor effects stand out most on smooth, large surfaces like the arm, back, or thigh, but they can also be cleverly adapted to more mobile areas.
Not all tattoo artists master this technique. The watercolor style requires an advanced understanding of color, depth, and shape.
Hydration, sun protection, and proper conditioning are essential to keeping colors vibrant and defined.
This style can change slightly over the years. Far from being a problem, it's an opportunity to tweak or expand your tattoo, like a work in progress.
