Listen to this podcast on:

Andrés Makishi is a professional tattoo artist known for his incredible micro-realism designs. His tattoos are so detailed and lifelike that they almost look like photographs. But what is the creative process behind these stunning works of art?

According to Makishi, the first step in creating a micro-realism tattoo is finding the right reference image. He spends a lot of time researching and collecting images that will serve as the basis for his designs. Once he has found the perfect image, he begins to analyze it in detail, looking for the unique characteristics that will make the tattoo stand out. For this great professional tattoo artist, it’s essential to choose elements that go with his style but at the same time satisfy the tastes of his clients in order to please both parties, both the person and personally when creating a piece that he enjoys tattooing.

Once the stencil is in place, Makishi begins the actual tattooing process. He uses a combination of shading and color to create depth and texture, carefully building up the layers to achieve the desired effect. He is constantly checking his work against the reference image to make sure that he is capturing all of the subtle details.

Throughout the process, Makishi is also in constant communication with his client, making sure that they are happy with the design and that it is turning out the way they envisioned. He sees tattooing as a collaborative process between the artist and the client, and he works hard to ensure that everyone is on the same page.

In the end, the result is a stunning work of art that is both beautiful and meaningful. Makishi’s micro-realism tattoos are a testament to his skill and dedication to his craft. If you’re looking for a tattoo that truly stands out, look no further than Andrés Makishi.

Micro Realism is a style of tattooing that has gained great popularity inside and outside the professional tattoo industry and this is because it gives the possibility of creating a small piece with a great amount of detail, technique, elegance and sophistication.

For that reason, Andrés Makishi, professional tattoo artist and resident of Inknation Studio will share the 3 techniques he uses to create tattoos with the Micro Realism style.
