フレッド

Born in Brazil, he began his tattooing journey at the age of 20. His artistic essence truly took shape when he discovered the intersection between Japanese tradition and his personal narrative. A visit to Japan in 2017, coupled with his exposure to ukiyo-e prints during art school, ignited his desire to merge the power of classical paintings with the dynamic energy of Neo-Japanese tattooing.

His work represents a dialogue between eras and geographies. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and myths of Japan to the vibrant colors, textures, and vitality of Brazilian nature. Each tattoo serves as a synthesis of this journey: fluid, contemporary, and deeply personal. His goal is to continue this artistic exploration until he fully integrates his Brazilian origins with Japan, the place he has chosen to call home.
