Frequently Asked Questions
To you, what is a tattoo?
A tattoo is a statement — a decision made visible. The manifestation of an idea.
Sometimes we are drawn to an image subconsciously so deeply that it feels like it already lives in our skin.
Each tattoo is a moment of recognition. Of encounter. Of becoming.
Can I get tattooed by you even if I don’t have a clear idea yet?
Yes.
That’s often where the best work begins. Come with a feeling, a word, a question. The piece will surface.
Do you sell your artwork?
Right now artworks are being created and kept for exhibition for my first art show in October 23rd.
Some pieces are for sale through Galería Alentar. Others are not for sale — they’re part of an ongoing exploration of image and form. You can view some of the works here.

How can I book a tattoo?
I update the monthly openings on the scheduling page. You can book there or if you want to discuss your idea you can contact me via email or whatsapp. If you send “hey, price?” with no context, the algorithm will gently delete your message.
Can I send you a reference or ask for something specific?
Of course.
Every tattoo starts with a conversation. I listen to your your story and then interpret it through my visual language.
How far in advance should I book?
Sessions usually fill 2–4 weeks ahead. I open limited spots monthly. If you’re ready, don’t wait.
What’s your style?
It's a conversation between the figurative and the abstract. Sometimes strange. Sometimes relatable. Always personal.
What’s the difference between @blcksstar and @blcksstar.studios?
@blcksstar is the skin: tattoos, the body as archive.
@blcksstar.studios is the echo: objects, texts, and works that exist within and outside the skin.
Two channels, one voice.
How much do your tattoos cost?
Pricing depends on scale, complexity and time. Theres a price range on the scheduling page. Custom pieces or more complex projects may have a different costs, contact us via email or whatsapp for more info.
Where are you based? Do you travel?
I’m based in Mexico City but open portals abroad. There is a waitlist now for Guadalajara, Berlin, Paris, and Madrid. Announcements happen here or via the mailing list.
