Today we\u2019d like to introduce you to Jose Contreras.<\/p>
Hi Jose, can you start by introducing yourself? We\u2019d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?<\/strong> By 2007, I had started my training as a tattoo artist, learning basic techniques while surrounded by other artists who inspired me. My dedication soon earned me a spot at Mithos Tattoo, one of the most respected studios in my home country, where I also began competing in local tattoo conventions and won several awards, including Rookie Artist of the Year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t El tatuador Jos\u00e9 Contreras dice que la \u00faltima tendencia de las celebridades es tatuarse bajo anestesia<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Contreras has done tattoos for musicians Post Malone<\/a> and Ozuna<\/a>, pro athletes Anthony Davis<\/a> and Lonzo Ball<\/a> and more<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Not all tattoo artists are on board with the trend, either.<\/strong><\/p> “To be honest, I haven\u2019t really seen a comeback of lower back tattoos \u2014 at least not from where I stand in the tattoo industry,”\u00a0Jose Contreras<\/a>,<\/strong> a tattoo artist who practices in Los Angeles, Texas and New York, says. “That said, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they did start trending again at some point. Everything in this world is pretty cyclical.”<\/p> Contreras<\/strong> continues, “For example, there was a time when traditional tattoos \u2014 without much composition \u2014 were super popular. Then realism started to take over, with full-arm pieces that had flow and big compositions. But now, I\u2019m seeing realistic tattoos again, just in smaller, scattered pieces all over the body, kind of like the way traditional tattoos used to be placed.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
From a very young age, I felt a deep curiosity for drawing and body modification. In 2006, I began exploring that world through piercing, which quickly led me to discover my true passion: tattooing.<\/p>
