My name is Antonio Herradon. I was born in Cuba and moved to Miami at the age of 15. From a young age, I’ve had a passion for art and history, particularly drawn to Japanese masters like Hokusai and Hayao Miyazaki. Growing up watching cartoons and anime, I was captivated by Studio Ghibli films—the stunning visuals and rich storytelling left a lasting impression on me.

A turning point came when a cousin showed up with a striking Japanese traditional dragon tattoo. In that moment, I realized that tattoos were more than just marks on the body; they were powerful expressions of art and identity. Years later, after several college attempts that didn’t quite fit, my dad suggested something that would change my life: “Buy a tattoo machine.”

Now, six years later, I couldn’t be happier. I love my profession, the artistry, and most importantly, my family and clients who have supported me throughout this journey. I specialize in fine line tattoos, demonstrating exceptional attention to detail in micro-realism as well as in larger pieces like black and gray, traditional, and anime styles. I’m here to share everything I’ve learned over the years and, above all, to help bring your story to life.
