We had the good fortune of connecting with Juliano Torres and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Juliano, what makes you happy? Why?
to be able to work with what I love and ENJOY MY FAMILY!!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve been a tattoo artist for almost 20 years. I love my profession and I dedicate myself 100% to Polynesian art, which is my specialty. Since I arrived in the US in 2015.. I have participated in tattoo events where I have been awarded in the BEST TRIBAL category. I am currently considered the most awarded Brazilian tattooist in Florida and one of the most awarded Brazilian tattoo artists in the United States. I teach workshops and participate in the jury panel of ONLINE tattoo events throughout Brazil!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Florida is the most beautiful state in the USA… of all I’ve visited it is of course… like Nevada, California, Tennessee and so many others… So when I receive my friends I like to take the beach… so much here from the coast as well as the gulf, Disney, Springs… There is a lot to explore here… apart from the countless restaurants and bars… I love Florida!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’ve always suffered prejudice from being a tattoo artist… getting a tattoo but always my mother’s support! for over 10 years my wife has given me ALL the support to be able to work and reach our goals, for sure if it weren’t for her… I wouldn’t have gotten where we are… we are a PERFECT team!
