Houston is a great city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Houston<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are lots of studios and very good artists. The city has built up a solid reputation, particularly for black and gray. In 2015 I received a job offer from Carson Vester to join the Gold Rush Collective team and work with my friends, Cody Gibbs and Oscar Cuellar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I arrived in December 2015, I discovered that Oscar was leaving the studio and the opportunity arose for me to become a studio partner. The shop has grown from a team of four to nine today, and has gained a reputation for large-scale black and gray creations, becoming one of the best studios of this style in Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SKATEBOARD-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"Art by Pierre Chapelan for the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-2829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SKATEBOARD-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SKATEBOARD-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SKATEBOARD-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SKATEBOARD-1536x2048.webp 1536w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SKATEBOARD-600x800.webp 600w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SKATEBOARD-scaled.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Art by Pierre Chapelan for the exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to get involved in my community, so I also organize an art exhibition in the city called &#8220;All Hands on Deck&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A little history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My career in tattooing probably began when I was a child.<br>My grandfather came back from the Second World War with tattoos, and I was obsessed with them.<br>So when I was 14, I walked into Wild Bill&#8217;s studio and told him I wanted to be a tattoo artist, but I was quickly rebuffed.<br>When I was 15, I met a guy named Joe Holyfield, who owned Above All Tattoo in Sacramento, California.<br>One night around midnight, my friends and I went to get a tattoo, and the guy didn&#8217;t want to tattoo me because I was only 15, so he made a deal with me: &#8220;Bring me 10 paying customers and I&#8217;ll tattoo you.&#8221; I got my first professional tattoo from Joe in October 1996. I was immediately hooked. While he was tattooing me, I kept asking him questions and he told me to join the army and NOT to get into tattooing first.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of joining the army, I went to San-Francisco, where I was tattooed at Antibus Warpus by Luke Francis. We became very good friends with Marco Casado, among others. I hung out in the shop, doing whatever I could to help. I was homeless in San Francisco, so I didn&#8217;t really have anything else to do. They first offered me an apprenticeship in piercing, which I completed under the tutelage of Bima Gunawan. Luke Francis asked me what I really wanted to do with my life. I told him tattooing! He pointed to a machine frame and said, &#8220;Hey man, if you build me a complete machine, I&#8217;ll teach you everything you want to know about tattooing! You&#8217;ll never be broke, and you&#8217;ll never be rich.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having done graffiti I found myself doing a lot of lettering style tattoos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGANUBIS-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Anubis tattoo studio\" class=\"wp-image-2833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGANUBIS-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGANUBIS-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGANUBIS-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGANUBIS-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGANUBIS.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Anubis tattoo studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was 20, I returned to my native Netherlands and bought a tattoo studio. I thought it was a great idea, without even knowing how to run a business. To honor the studio that gave me my chance, I called it Anubis. It was located on Kattengat Street in Amsterdam. In 2005 I left to move to Aruba, then to Venezuela on an island called Isla de Margarita before moving to Miami in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back to USA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got busy very quickly, working 14 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week. I made a deal with the owner that I would manage his studio if I could learn the ropes of the business. First I worked at Mosh Pit, then we opened Salvation Tattoo, about the time I hired a guy from Montreal, J. F. Burby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Montreal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J.F. Burby later offered me the opportunity to come up to Montreal and work with him at Tattoo Iris. I had never worked in a custom studio at the time. So before making my decision to move again, I went back home to the Netherlands and spoke to Amar Goucem to ask his advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said, &#8220;Take the job, man! Montreal is supposed to be great!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went to Canada from 2008 to 2010. I worked in Montreal and came back down to the States. I was working in Wildwood, New Jersey, on the boardwalk, just to earn enough money to be able to work in the Montreal custom studio.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First I went down the black and gray route, then traditional tattoos; my basics were always lettering and bangers. I wanted to do things right, so I stuck with the traditional. I remember seeing Alex Reinke&#8217;s work in 1998, and it really impressed me; that&#8217;s when I decided to take a greater interest in Japanese art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember working in Montreal when Pierre Chapelan came to visit and I remember starting to look at his work, I&#8217;d never been exposed to stuff like that before, and I was really inspired.<br>It changed my approach to tattooing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Machine WorkShop\" class=\"wp-image-2836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-1542x2048.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-600x797.jpg 600w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMGMACHINESHOP-scaled.jpg 1928w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Machine WorkShop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My machine shop is located on Piemont, in an industrial zone, a convenient place for me to collect all the metals I need.

I love doing seminars, Carson loves doing seminars, we love talking about machine theory. I think there&#8217;s so much we haven&#8217;t even touched on yet, especially now with the influx of great artists where the art is good but they just don&#8217;t know their tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tattooing today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my opinion, the art world is GOOD, people push the boundaries. For me, the world of tattooing is a place where we&#8217;re all invited and lucky enough to be part of it. If you give it love and are sincere, tattooing will open up a whole world to you. I met my wife through tattooing and now I have my little daughter, everything good in my life comes from tattooing. I think a lot of things in tattooing right now come from corporate entities trying to convince people that tattooing is more than what it really is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think some people are a bit disconnected, which can be discouraging in certain situations. I&#8217;m trying to bridge the gap and share information about machines; I&#8217;m working on new technologies and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"972\" src=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_KELLY.jpg\" alt=\"@kelly_deano at work\" class=\"wp-image-2832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_KELLY.jpg 777w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_KELLY-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_KELLY-768x961.jpg 768w, https:\/\/studiotattoomania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_KELLY-600x751.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@kelly_deano at work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a new &#8220;Pen&#8221; that I&#8217;m about to launch, called the shiv, a rotating machine, I also have some art exhibitions that I&#8217;m working on with a local artist, Arkhos Guerrera, and we&#8217;re going to do a skate deck exhibition together in 2025.
