DARK SURREALISM TATTOOS

Scroll

My name is Diogo Nunes, and I’ve been tattooing professionally since 2008, creating art on skin across the world.

Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, I’ve been traveling internationally since the age of 7. I’ve been passionate about art from a young age and at 16 I started my tattoo career

Over the years, I’ve developed a style rooted in dark surrealism, a fusion between haunting and dreamlike imagery. My goal is to bring to life the balance between beauty and the ominous, both on canvas and in every tattoo I create.

FAQS

You can start by making an appointment by clicking on the “Book your tattoo” option and start by filling out the online form with all the information regarding the tattoo you want, and we will respond as soon as possible.

Yes, when you book your appointment, we can schedule an online meeting to talk about what you want to tattoo and if you are interested.
I can also show you some custom designs that I have already done. I don’t do in-person meetings since I have limited time to go to the tattoo shop.
To protect my work, I usually send a base of the design in the same week as the appointment.
You can always request minor changes to the design if you want.
I am not very fond of strong anesthetic/numbing creams because they can change the texture of the skin and compromise the healing of the tattoo, however, I usually use Nothing Cream and Foam by H2Ocean. Both have 4% Lidocaine.
Bring comfortable clothes and some snacks to keep your sugar levels balanced, and do not shave the tattoo area in order to avoid a rash or irritated skin on the day of the tattoo. I will do the shaving before placing the stencil.
If you need to reschedule/cancel the session, please let us know 3 days in advance so I will have time to place a client on the free date. Failure to provide 3 days’ notice will result in loss of deposit We also inform you that by rescheduling appointments with prior notice, up to 2 times, you will not lose the deposit, and if you reschedule more than 2 times, the deposit remains with the artist.
