Specialising in black & grey realism, Paulo creates bold, high-contrast tattoos with deep shading and lifelike texture. From classical statues and mythological figures to wildlife and portraits, his work has a sculpted, three-dimensional depth that stands out on the skin.
Paulo’s strength lies in large-scale realism — shoulder pieces, sleeves, calf and hand tattoos built around a strong central subject. Greek gods, angels, cherubs, lions, knights and Medusa are signature themes, often tied together with clocks, eyes, smoke and dramatic background shading. He is equally comfortable with softer black & grey florals and delicate fine-line pieces.
Whether you’re planning a full realism sleeve or a single statement piece, Paulo works closely with each client to design something with impact and longevity. Based at XOXO on Capel Street, Dublin City Centre.
