Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Luis was always connected and inspired to the art culture that was constantly circulating throughout his native home. By age 17, he was a recognized graffiti artist – having won local competitions. At 18, he began studying industrial design at the Instituto de Caracas, graduating with honors as a products designer. Tattoos were always captivating to Luis, so he quickly began filling his body with artwork while making great friendships in the tattoo community along the way.

It didn’t take long for him to become influenced by their passion for the tattoo world, so Luis picked up tattooing as a hobby. Soon after, that hobby became a fiery passion. He moved to Miami and dedicated his time and devotion to growing into an artist that could be diverse and unique in his approach to designing. Taking up opportunities to guest spot in New York is where he found the newly opened, Skin Design Tattoo New York, and jumped on the opportunity to give his business card to the employees, in the event that they ever needed a guest artist. It would be awhile before he heard back from anyone, so Luis went back to Miami and started working in his own private studio. In September of 2020, he received a call asking when he could be in New York, and just a few days later, Luis packed up his belongings and drove up to Brooklyn. A guest spot for him quickly turned into a permanent stay with the Skin Design family, based in SoHo New York, he also now travels to other location like Vegas, Hawaii, Orange County, rotating his artistry between the shops and growing in each new culture he finds himself in.

His portfolio, free from favoritism, encompasses a range of styles, with a particular love for black and gray realism and color realism. Luis remains dedicated to ensuring each piece reflects a unique artistic expression, leaving a lasting impression on every client he encounters.
