I'm Adrián Sánchez, although I am known as Black Sánchez.

Together we will discover how to tattoo a realistic portrait. I started oil painting when I was 8 years old and studied art in my senior years of high school.

Then, it was followed by an Illustration Associate Degree and also a degree at the Professional Drawing School ESDIP.

All that training came in handy for me when I started tattooing at the age of 23.

I already knew the anatomy of the body and was beginning to understand the art of working with ink.

But without practice and perseverance I could not have gotten where I am today, also going through several international conventions.

What you learn the most is from your colleagues and professionals of the sector, that's why I started going to tattoo events all over the globe: New York, Milan, London or Amsterdam have been places for enriching encounters.

After going through other tattoo studios, I opened my own. In Chinatown Tattoo I have written more than 250 stories on the skin, and I am going to teach you how to do it.
