Ruben Barahona

Hello this is Ruben! I love doing realistic color tattoos with high contrast and bright colors. I focus on the readability of my compositions; emphasizing the flow of the body’s muscles.

I use my studies in oil painting, to create a custom tattoo palette for each piece. I use your skin complexion to determine a range of contrast.

The subject matters I enjoy the most are the following:

-Music related tattoos

-Color and Black and Gray portraits

-Art related and painterly interpretations of realistic elements.

-Horror and surrealism.

I would love to hear your ideas. My books are currently open for NYC, conventions and guest spots.
