Ramon Nieves

Tattoo artist and plastic artist originally from Barquisimeto, Venezuela. At 29 years old, with a decade dedicated to tattooing, Ramon has developed a distinct technique in Black and Grey and Color, creating surrealist compositions to visually express the stories of each of his clients. His tattoos tell narratives and convey concepts, capturing what words often cannot.

Ramon began his artistic journey at a young age, studying plastic arts at the Martin Tovar y Tovar Art School. His passion for oil painting and drawing eventually led him to tattooing—a new medium for artistic expression. At 18, he started tattooing and has never looked back.

He spent 6 years in Santiago, Chile, where he became one of the country’s leading tattoo artists. There, he founded Snow Crew Studio and led two of the largest tattoo seminars ever held in the city. Ramon has participated in several international tattoo conventions, earning numerous awards and recognitions that underscore his artistic talent and growth. He has also served as a judge in some of these events, a significant accomplishment that solidifies his reputation in the industry.

Currently, Ramon is based in New York City, working at Ink Nation Studio, which is home to some of the world’s top tattoo artists.
