Yomico Moreno
Yomico Moreno’s story is one of passion, dedication, and artistic evolution. With over 13 years of experience as a tattoo artist, Yomico’s path to the craft was sparked by curiosity and a deep love for art. From his early days, lingering near a small tattoo shop after high school, to becoming a master of realistic tattooing, his determination to live through art has shaped his career. What began as an interest in drawing and painting transformed into a lifelong commitment to the intricate world of tattoos.
Yomico’s commitment to realism has set him apart in the tattooing community. However, his work goes beyond simply replicating faces or photographs; he strives for innovation by crafting unique compositions that push the boundaries of the art form. For him, every tattoo is a collaborative process with his clients, where their ideas are interpreted through his distinct style, turning their vision into wearable masterpieces. This evolution in tattooing, where the artist’s individual style is sought after like that of a fine art piece, resonates deeply with his creative philosophy.
Collaboration and growth are central to Yomico’s approach. He cherishes the camaraderie of working alongside other world-class artists like Jak Connolly, forming bonds that extend beyond the studio. Whether attending global conventions or creating stunning pieces as a team, these experiences are not just about artistic development but also personal growth. For Yomico, it’s not just about creating tattoos; it’s about building a community of inspiration and learning.
Currently based in New York at the renowned Last Rites Tattoo, Yomico continues to redefine realism, infusing elements of surrealism into his work. To him, tattooing is more than a profession—it’s a way of life, requiring endless study, practice, and sacrifice. His message is clear to aspiring tattoo artists: this craft demands true passion and relentless effort. For Yomico, being a tattoo artist is about constant evolution, endlessly striving to create, learn, and innovate.
