#Long road tattoo professional

The love you put in each tattoo that a person will carry all his life, if the laser allows it! (laughs) Tattoo by El Bara, you miss Argentina and would you like to go back and tattoo there in 10 or 20 years? Tattoo by El Bara, did you come up with the name ‘True Love Tattoo’ for your studio? It’s a very simple name, but it’s also very romantic towards this job…įor me the name ‘True Love Tattoo’ summarizes just that – true love for everything you do.

This added to the people who have worked in the studio, leaving their contribution to that reputation and to the human and professional values that we have always tried to instill both to the tattoo artists who have passed through the studio as well as to the clients. Tattoo by El Bara, in my case – as in the case of so many others – it has also influenced the fact of betting to make a style.Ī style that at that time didn’t enjoy the popularity that reached later and for that reason we unconsciously became kind of precursors of the re-popularization of the Traditional. I think that in a certain way it’s the recognition to more than thirty years of trajectory and effort. Tattoo by El Bara, you think that when people in Europe mention Traditional, they immediately think of El Bara and his studio ‘True Love Tattoo’ in Madrid? Don’t be humble…

I played in some bands in Argentina between the 80’s and early 90’s like Rezago, Círculo Vicioso, ODR, to name a few. Tattoo by El Bara, were the names of your bands? It was a picture of the front singer Roger Miret totally tattooed and instantly I thought I had to do this! Also this music style in a way has been the soundtrack of my life. I remember, for example, the back cover of the album ‘One Voice’ by Agnostic Front. Since I was a teenager I have always been involved in the punk-hardcore scene and my approach to tattooing was because of this. Tattoo by El Bara, it true that you got into this world because you played in some punk rock bands and were constantly surrounded by tattooed people? Yeah, I’m really very grateful for everything. A road in which I have worked hard but I have enjoyed my work and the things it has given me.

It has been a long road in which I have gained experience, learning, friendships, places etc. Yes, if I’m right this is my 31st year as a tattooist. Tattoo by El Bara, El Bara! Am I wrong or you have just approached your first 30 years in the tattoo world?

Man of 2 worlds and artist whose heart is halfway between Argentina and Spain, the owner of ‘True Love Tattoo’ is here to tell us about 30 years of pure passion.
