Vomit Vessel: Chile's Old School Neo-Trad Voice That's Been Part of the Sullen Family for Years

The handle alone tells you something. @vomitvessel isn't trying to fit in. Never has been.

Based in Chile and tattooing since 2011, Vomit Vessel has spent well over a decade building one of the most distinctive voices in South American tattooing — a style rooted in Old School tradition but pushed into neo-traditional territory with a vision that is entirely their own. Bold outlines. Rich, saturated color. Imagery that pulls from the deep well of classic tattoo iconography and comes out the other side looking like nothing you've seen before.

Old School at the Core, Everything Else on Top

There's a reason Old School and neo-traditional have survived every trend cycle in tattooing — they're built on fundamentals that don't break down. Strong line weight. Color that holds. Compositions that read from across the room. Vomit Vessel understands this at a bone level and uses it as a foundation to build something with real edge and personality.

The neo-traditional approach gives room to push the palette deeper, layer the detail heavier, and inject a darker, more complex energy than classic American traditional allows. That's the space Vomit Vessel lives in — and it's a space they've made their own.

Chile, and the Global Tattoo Scene

Santiago and Chile's broader tattoo scene have quietly produced some of the most technically accomplished and stylistically original artists in the world, largely operating outside the spotlight that tends to fall on North American and European artists. Vomit Vessel is part of that tradition — artists who built their craft far from the centers of industry attention and ended up producing work that stands on its own international stage.

Since 2011, that's 14-plus years of consistent evolution, refinement, and reputation-building done the right way: through the work.

A True Sullen Collaborator

Vomit Vessel isn't just an artist Sullen admires from a distance — they've been in the trenches with us. Multiple tee collaborations mean their artwork has been worn on skin of a different kind: fabric. That's the Sullen model at its core — finding artists whose vision is strong enough to translate beyond the tattoo, onto apparel that carries the same weight and authenticity.

When an artist's design works on a tee the way it works on skin, you know the fundamentals are right. Vomit Vessel hits that mark.

Follow the Work

If you're not already following @vomitvessel, you're missing one of the more honest and uncompromising feeds in the tattoo world. Old school soul, neo-trad execution, zero interest in doing anything other than exactly what they do.

That's the kind of artist Sullen was built around.
