MIGUEL AJAMI
I am a tattoo artist based between Miami, Florida, and Beirut, Lebanon. I specialize in surrealism and realism tattoos, and I like to make people happy in their skin! I am dedicated to my craft and to expanding my knowledge in the tattoo world!
What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo
virgin) I would advise them to research the style of the tattoo they want and do another research to find an artist that specializes in that style!
What would you say is your favorite part of
the job? My favorite part of tattooing is leaving my own art and ideas on someone else body, which would, in turn, also add to their happiness!
What was it that initially sparked your interest in tattooing?
I’ve always had an interest in art and drawing/ painting ever since I was a kid. Time passed, and I had just graduated from college with a degree in advertising /marketing but did not feel like continuing on that path, and at the same time, I was having my sleeve done where I started to get more and more invested in taking a risk with what I’ve always loved to do!
Who and what influences you to
create your work? I get my influences from a lot of great artists out there, such as Roberto Carlos Sanchez, Nikko Hurtado, Julian Siebert, and many more! What mainly influences me is a combination of my ideas mixed with the client’s original concept and the brainstorming that happens during that process.
What do you think is in store for the future
of tattooing? I think the future of tattooing hides a lot of surprises for us, whether it’s new tools to ease the tattooing process even more than it is nowadays or presenting us with new styles of tattooing!
What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?
The best advice that I can give to a new artist is to always learn and to know that tattooing is always a learning process. You can become a really great artist if you understand that there is always room for improvement! ✕
