Filippe Art Los Angeles, CA

FILIPPE ART

I’m originally from Brazil, where I started tattooing 9 years ago; there were many difficulties and challenges I had to go through to get to where I am today, a tattoo artist residing in Los Angeles, specializing in exclusive creations.

Since I was little, art was what I knew how to do best, like drawings, paintings, handicrafts, and so on.

God used art to help me be disciplined, grateful, and happy.

After these years in tattooing, I changed my way of thinking and discovered that my clients wanted more than just good drawings on their bodies; they wanted emotion, feeling, and experience, and that’s how I was recognized for transforming stories and feelings into art. Tattooing with me is much more than sitting in your chair and waiting for the job to be finished.

Here we share stories, feelings, and emotions, the energy is different, and those who felt this experience will never accept less than that in their next tattoo sessions.

Who/where do you get

your inspiration from? I seek inspiration by going to museums, traveling, and getting to know different types of cultures. I feed on art all the time, I’m very observant, and I absorb everything I see with an artistic eye. This was the best way I found to keep myself inspired.

What would you say is your favorite part

of the job? My favorite part is being able to travel, listen to so many stories, learn so many cultures, have this exchange of experience, and see the happiness of my clients after seeing the finished art.

Who are your favorite

What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?

The most important and simplest advice is not only for those who want to start tattooing but for every one that is about to start. Stop and think if it’s really what you love because success only comes when you do what you really love. ✕
