Hi ✌ nice to meet you!
I’m Marcelo from Brazil. Traveler, tattoo artist, and someone curious about life. I’m calm, easy-going, and love talking about anything! I enjoy making new friends and forming genuine connections along the way.

Right now, I’m traveling across Europe until January — I started in Switzerland and I’m now heading to Berlin, then Amsterdam and Paris. During this trip, I want to keep creating as a tattoo artist while soaking up new cultural and artistic experiences.

If you enjoy good conversations, sharing ideas, or simply spending time together, let’s meet up and do something together!
You can also find me on Instagram to see my work or chat before: @jahpa.gajin
