CURRENT MISSION

To travel around the world tattooing by hand as many people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a person without a flag or national identity. It sads me the concept of frontier; it just reminds me how limited we are inside this huge space. I beleive that wherever you put your feet is home. I find it very difficult to experience my authenticity in its deepest conception, and that´s why I enjoy silence, because it makes me feel able to listen my true inner voice, among all the noise that constantly saturates me. I enjoy using my time and resources in making myself a better person, more than a richer person; and that´s the reason because I beleive traveling is the best investment you can make. I love and respect nature; I can feel its manifestation inside me through the fire of creativity. And that´s why I love arts and creation, because it is like making a translation of a message from my inner nature. I play the guitar and have a rock band, I love drawing because it really teaches me to observe. I enjoy experiencing all kind of artistic disciplines or manifestations, but of all them, the one that I am most passionate about, and to which I dedicate practically 100% of my working time and energy is the handmade tattoo or handpoke; through which I earn my living since 6 years ago, and through which I intend to go around the world in a self-sustaining way. You can check my work and photoblog on instagram (@mooro,handpoke) and Facebook (@MooroTattoo). I am a quiet and relaxed person; a good listener and a supportive friend. I deeply beleive in the respect for the other and I find it very hard to deal with injustice. Finally I will be more than pleased to make a handpoke tattoo on you (if you are interested) as a gesture of gratitude and exchange for a space to live and eat during my stay in your place.

PHILOSOPHY

Don´t expect to be happy there where you are going, if you are not already happy here where you already are.
