01 / Work
Ink on skin
A selection of recent pieces. Many of them are healed: this is how they really look months later.
02 / Process
My first back piece
A full back samurai, session by session. The most ambitious piece I have done so far, and the one I am enjoying the most.

Got a big piece in mind?
Backs, sleeves, legs. I love working big: tell me your idea and we will design it for your body.
Let’s talk about your piece03 / Flash
Original designs, ready to tattoo
My own drawings, made for skin. Flash costs less than a custom piece and can be scaled to the size you need. Ask which ones are still available.

What I tattoo
Traditional
Old school done right: eagles, roses, swallows, panthers and classic portraits. Few lines, clear reading, built to last.
Blackwork & cover-up
Blackovers and blastovers to cover or refresh an old tattoo. Dense black and a design built around what you already have.
Custom
Your idea, drawn for you. Also comic and manga panels, freehand work and large-scale pieces.
05 / About
Jon Soto Pereira
I am a tattoo artist, illustrator and graphic designer. I studied at the Universitat Politècnica de València and now split my time between Barcelona and San Sebastián, ready to travel wherever the work is.
My work draws on traditional and Japanese tattooing. I draw every piece by hand, and whatever does not end up on skin ends up on paper, on a print or on a screen-printed T-shirt from the workshop.
