Jose Baena

📍 Astoria, NY

Born on August 11, 1993 I have 10 years of experience in the world of tattooing, I started in my hometown (Montería -colombia) there I did studies as a graphic designer which allowed me to have a different approach as a tattoo artist, the management of design programs helped my development as a tattoo artist. At the beginning of my career I was able to travel to Lima-Peru, Arica-Chile and Buenos Aires - Argentina, on this trip I was able to learn about the art of traditional tattooing and learn from artists from there who already had years of experience, which allowed me to evolve in my tattoos, opening the doors to work in studio 13 tattoo (Medellin colombia),Who welcomed me and allowed me to be an artist in their store for 5 years, a recognised studio in which I became known in this city, with them I was able to participate in multiple tattoo conventions in Colombia, and Mexico. Then in 2019 I was invited as a special artist in skull tattoos in Germany and lamachineinfernale tattoos in France, in these studios I met top artists of world level, which allowed me to grow in my career as a tattoo artist. I currently have a private studio in Medellin where I work with 3 good Colombian artists there I focus on working with Colombian and foreign clients, on the evolution of my art I consider myself a freestyle artist, although I can develop tattoos in black and white, neo-traditional and color, my strength is the mixture of these styles in unique pieces.
