## About

I am Eric Zuluaga, a tattoo artist focused on careful composition, strong contrast, and expressive detail. My work spans portraits, florals, horror, and illustrative pieces, with each design shaped around the subject and the person wearing it. I take time to understand the visual direction before tattooing, so the final piece feels considered rather than generic.
Black and grey tattooing gives me room to build depth through value, texture, and restraint. I use that range to create portraits with character, florals with softness, and darker imagery with atmosphere. Clients can expect a focused process, clear communication, and a custom tattoo designed to translate well onto the body.

A More Personal Way to Wear Your Story
I begin by shaping the concept around what you want the tattoo to communicate. Portraits, florals, horror imagery, and illustrative subjects each call for a different balance of contrast, texture, and open skin, so the design is developed with those choices in mind.
During the session, I work methodically through the composition and tonal range, building depth without losing clarity. The experience is calm and collaborative, with space to discuss placement, scale, and the visual details that matter most to you.

## FAQ

### How do I choose the right design for my tattoo?

A professional tattoo artist can help you shape your ideas into a design that suits your meaning, preferred style, and the area of the body you have in mind. Bringing references, themes, or personal details can make the creative conversation more productive.

### Can a tattoo artist help me choose the placement and size?

Yes, placement and size are important parts of creating a tattoo that looks balanced and works well with the body's natural contours. A professional can discuss how factors such as visibility, movement, detail, and composition may affect the design.

### What should I expect during a tattoo consultation?

A consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concept, visual references, placement, and overall expectations with the artist. It also gives you a chance to ask questions and make sure the proposed approach feels comfortable and appropriate for you.

### How can I prepare for a tattoo appointment?

Arriving well rested, hydrated, and ready to communicate clearly can help create a more comfortable experience. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo area, and share any relevant health or skin concerns with the professional beforehand.

### How should I care for a new tattoo?

A professional tattoo artist will provide aftercare guidance suited to the work and your skin. Following those instructions carefully, keeping the area clean, and avoiding unnecessary irritation can support proper healing and help preserve the tattoo's appearance.
