Meet the Artist
Taiom is a Brazilian tattooist and visual artist. He fell in love with tattoo culture at a young age, and has been practicing ever since then. Over the last decade and a half, Taiom has developed his own unique, highly graphic style of tattooing focused on abstract concepts. Inspired by his love of drawing and woodworking, his tattoo techniques include sketch lines, watercolors, fine lines, black work, and detail. He approaches each work like a story helping people create body art that brings something about who they are to life on their skin. Tat a tat!

Loved every minute of this experience, from learning about the history of tattooing, to practicing drawing for tattoos on various papers and silicon “skin”, to exploring the art scene of São Paulo with Taiom. What a talented, awesome, intelligent, patient, and kind man from whom I learned so much!!
