Hello, I am Bruno Marx, and my journey into the world of body art commenced at the age of 15 in 2003 when I embarked on my initial foray into Body Piercing. At the age of 17, I refined my skills while working at a tattoo studio, marking the beginning of my career as a tattoo artist. I fondly recall those early days when I even crafted my own needles to bring my artistic vision to life on the canvas of human skin.

Hailing from the small town of Teresópolis in Rio de Janeiro, I remained steadfast in my dream of flourishing as a recognized tattoo artist. I invested considerable time and effort in honing my craft, studying and working in local studios within the city. In 2012, a significant milestone was achieved as I established my own studio, InkMe.

Recognition began to flow in 2014 with awards for Best Bio Organic and Best New School at the 3rd West Tattoo Festival in Rio de Janeiro. The accolades continued at the 3rd Rio das Ostras Tattoo Fest, where I secured 2nd place in the New School, Comics, and Black and White categories. Subsequent years brought further achievements, including 1st place in Realism and 2nd place in New School at the West Tattoo Fest in 2015, and 1st place in New School and 2nd place in Realism at the 4th Rio das Ostras Tattoo Fest in the same year.

The pursuit of improvement and international exposure led me to Ganga Tattoo in Spain from May to April 2022. During this period, I served as a special guest in studios in Italy and Madrid. Noteworthy participations include the Tattoo Week in Brazil, the largest tattoo convention in the country, in October 2022, and a Guest session at Studio Fernando Souza in São Paulo, Brazil, in February 2023.

Looking ahead, I am confirmed to participate in Tattoo Week in São Paulo in October, the 1st Star Tattoo in Curitiba in November, and a Guest session at Studio Svart in Santa Catarina, also in November 2023. Beyond tattooing, my passion extends to oil painting, and in 2017, I was recognized by the Teresópolis Society of Arts, earning 3rd place with a bronze medal.

My studio in Brazil has received the distinction of being honored as the best in the city seven times. Presently, I am sponsored by esteemed brands such as Raw Pigments, TropicalDerm (tattoo care products), and Marco De La Piel (tattoo cartridge producer), with sponsorship offers from Jconly and Emlla, prominent tattoo equipment companies.
