Black & Grey tattoo artist based in Rio de Janeiro. One client per session. Work that travels.
Background
The work
speaks first.
I'm Matheus Caldas — a Rio de Janeiro-based tattoo artist specialised in Black & Grey. Every piece I create is designed specifically for one person, one body, one story. No rush. No distractions. Just the work.
With over six years of professional experience, I've built a practice around the belief that a tattoo should be more than a design — it should be an extension of who you are. That's why I work with a single client per day, dedicating full attention to every detail from the first conversation to the final line.
My work has taken me to guest spots across Europe — Berlin, Amsterdam and Essen — and I continue to travel regularly. If you're looking for Black & Grey work that will stand the test of time, I'd love to hear your idea.
