Braziliaanse tatoe\u00eberder Mario Jorge M. R. Dos Santos<\/strong>, geboren in S\u00e3o Paulo, heeft een tatoeagecarri\u00e8re opgebouwd die is gebaseerd op passie, precisie en voortdurende evolutie. Met meer dan twintig jaar ervaring combineert Mario technische vaardigheden met een diep artistiek gevoel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mario was dat kind - degene achter in de klas die altijd zat te tekenen in plaats van aantekeningen te maken. \u201cIk wist niet precies wat ik wilde doen in het leven, maar ik wist dat het met tekenen te maken moest hebben,\u201d vertelt hij. Op 12-jarige leeftijd zette hij de eerste echte stap: hij liep alleen naar een nabijgelegen tekenschool om te informeren naar lessen. Die dag gaf zijn jeugdhobby nieuw gewicht en richting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mario heeft geen artistieke achtergrond. \u201cIk denk dat ik de eerste in mijn familie ben die deze weg inslaat,\u201d zegt hij met een glimlach. Zijn grootouders leefden een bescheiden leven op het platteland en zijn vader werkte in metaalfabrieken. Toch baande Mario zijn eigen weg door pure toewijding.<\/p>

Hoe tatoe\u00ebren hem vond\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hoewel kunst altijd aanwezig was in Mario's leven, duurde het een paar jaar voordat hij bij het tatoe\u00ebren belandde. Op zijn 19e ontdekte hij airbrushen<\/strong>, die hem hielp zijn techniek en handbeheersing te verfijnen - essenti\u00eble vaardigheden voor zijn toekomstige vak. Rond dezelfde tijd introduceerde een neef die al tatoe\u00eberde hem dichter bij die wereld.<\/p>

Het keerpunt kwam met een bezoek aan de legendarische Schorpioenen Tattoo studio<\/strong> in S\u00e3o Paulo, waar Mario zijn eerste tattoomachine kocht. Twee jaar later werd hij uitgenodigd om bij TattooYou<\/strong>, een van de meest iconische studio's van de stad. \u201cDaar begon mijn echte opleiding,\u201d zegt hij. \u201cAlles begon te klikken.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Mario's eerste dagen als tatoe\u00eberder waren niet altijd gemakkelijk. \u201cIn het begin vond ik het eigenlijk niet leuk om lijnwerk te doen - ik wilde alleen maar arceringen maken,\u201d herinnert hij zich. Maar dat veranderde toen hij kunstenaar Mauro Nunes een ingewikkelde mandala zag tatoe\u00ebren. \u201cIk realiseerde me dat ik niet van lijnen hield omdat ik niet wist hoe ik ze goed moest doen.\u201d Sindsdien is lijnwerk een van zijn sterkste punten geworden.<\/p>

Mario beschrijft zichzelf als een \u201ctechnisch kunstenaar\u201d. Zijn tatoeagestijl is een mix van textuur en zachtheid<\/strong> - Of het nu gaat om vloeiend realisme of gewaagde schaduwen. \u201cIk probeer mijn technisch inzicht in kunst direct op de huid over te brengen.\u201d<\/p>

De meeste klanten van Mario komen naar hem voor realistische tatoeages<\/strong>, en hij houdt ervan om levensechte details in de huid te brengen. Maar hij heeft ook een diepe bewondering voor Japans tatoe\u00ebren<\/strong>. \u201cHet veroudert prachtig en heeft me veel geleerd over compositie en hoe een tatoeage moet samenvloeien met het lichaam.\u201d<\/p>

Mario vindt dat een tatoeage net zo persoonlijk en passend moet zijn als een outfit op maat. Hij geeft er altijd de voorkeur aan om klanten eerst te ontmoeten voor een consult. \u201cEen goed gesprek bij de koffie helpt het ijs te breken,\u201d zegt hij. Op de dag van de tatoeage houdt hij zorgvuldig rekening met iemands levensstijl - zoals blootstelling aan de zon of werk - om een tatoeage te zetten die niet alleen visueel, maar ook praktisch bij hem past.<\/p>

Als hij \u00e9\u00e9n techniek zou moeten noemen die elke artiest zou moeten beheersen, dan is het lijnwerk. \u201cHet is de ruggengraat van de tattoo,\u201d legt hij uit. \u201cSterke lijnen houden het ontwerp bij elkaar en zorgen ervoor dat de tattoo lang blijft zitten.\u201d<\/p>

Voor Mario, structuur en visueel evenwicht<\/strong> zijn de sleutels tot een tijdloze tattoo. \u201cHet gaat er niet alleen om hoe het er vandaag uitziet - het gaat erom hoe het er over 5, 10 of 20 jaar uitziet. Weten waar je zwart, contrast en lijnen moet plaatsen is essentieel.\u201d<\/p>
