Color Realism. I’ve done a bit of everything, but no doubt my preference goes for color realism. The more com- plex, the more challenging and attractive it be- comes to me. You tattoo at Sublimevilla in Aveiro, Portugal for a few years now but seem to like traveling to conventions throughout Eu- rope and the United States. In the last two years I have been traveling more and doing more projects abroad to see and experi- ence new things in the world of tattooing. This change, however, implied new demands and, consequently, my wife, Mafalda, started to work with me. This made it easier to manage and move ahead with all these proj- ects that require a lot of time in their preparation and execution. The fact that my wife came to work with me allowed me to distance from all of that and allowed me to dedicate myself and focus more and only on the process of tattooing itself. 75
