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!

Explore Brasília

Built in 1960 as a giant symbol of progress, lovers of modernist architecture will feel at home in Brasília. Shaped like an enormous airplane, Brasília’s famous design has been listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site. Experience the huge and ever-present sky, which Taiom says is “gold for those who work with visual matters," and be inspired by the modern shapes and forms around you as you learn to tattoo the body.

    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!!
