Mando

TATTOO ARTIST LOCATED IN HONOLULU, HAWAI'I

Mando has been tattooing for over 5 years, following a path inspired by a family of artists and a deep passion for creating. Falling in love with the culture and history of tattooing, Mando knew it was the perfect career. He now thrives on the opportunity to learn and grow every day while doing something he loves.

Favorite Tattoo Styles and Themes
Specializing in black and grey realism, Mando focuses on creating large-scale projects that showcase his keen eye for composition, fitting each design perfectly to the client’s body. He takes inspiration from classical imagery like sculptures and architecture and incorporates photorealistic textures into his work. He also enjoys working with themes such as horror, portraits, and sacred geometry, creating tattoos with depth and complexity.

While Mando excels in black and grey designs, he prefers to avoid color realism, Japanese traditional styles, and lion tattoos, as they don’t align with his creative focus.

Notable Achievements
Since relocating to New York, Mando has been dedicated to improving his craft. His journey has led to showcasing his paintings in art galleries and being featured in Women’s World Magazine, with more exciting opportunities on the horizon.

Aftercare Recommendations
Mando emphasizes proper aftercare to ensure tattoos heal beautifully and maintain their longevity. He recommends:

  • Washing the tattoo 2–3 times daily with unscented antibacterial soap.
  • Patting it dry with a paper towel and applying a thin layer of Blasted Salvation for healing.
  • Avoiding sun exposure, oceans, pools, bathtubs, and any standing water during the healing process.
  • Once healed, use Blasted C.R.E.A.M. to maintain hydration and vibrancy, and always apply sunscreen when exposed to the sun.


Goals for 2025

Looking to the future, Mando’s ambitions include:

  • Improving his painting skills to further enhance his artistry.
  • Expanding his social media presence to reach more clients and showcase his work.
  • Staying booked and honing his tattooing skills to create even cleaner, crisper designs.
  • And, of course, making “lots of moneyyyyyyyyyy.”


Artistic Philosophy

Mando believes in taking his time to create the best results. His work is designed for how it will look once healed, with tones settling in perfectly over time. He prefers to do a second pass on tattoos to enhance their quality, making them 10 times better. For Mando, every tattoo is an opportunity to prove his potential and silence the naysayers, while fulfilling his artistic vision.
