interview with tattoo artist Roberto Pena
Hello Roberto Pena! Thank you so
much for taking the time to do this interview. Please start by
telling us something about yourself, who inspired you to start
tattooing? That was
Csaba Müllner, he
inspired me a lot and I see him as my role model.
Q: What kind of art outside tattooing do you like?
A: Oil painting, aquarelle painting and digital illustrations.
Q: What was the hardest part in
getting into this business?
A: I have been drawing for years, but still it was my greatest
fear not being able to implement the requirements of my customers.
Q: You will stick to tattoo realism?
A: I found my way in realism and hyperrealism.
Q: How long does it take to complete a portrait tattoo?
A: It depends on the size and the details. The first 2-3 hours it is
all about the basics.
Q: Do you use sketchbook?
A: Yes, I have studied digital art for a long time. I'm used
to create and edit the images on the computer. Digital painting helps me to
draw pictures as real as possible.
Q: Have you ever thought to change something about your style?
A: I'm always trying to create something new.
Q: What gets you out of the comfort zone?
A: If I couldn't create the way I would like to, I try
different things.
Q: Where are you now located?
A: Now I live in Bern and I have got my own studio -
Skin Deep Art Bern /
BlackSheep Ink That is a great
feeling. I love my work and like the people around me. That's
perfection for me. I also work as a gust spot artist at
Tattoostudio Nadelwerk in Austria.
Q: How do you cheer up
your clients?
A: Having a good conversation can overcome the fear of the sweet
pain.
Q: What is the best lesson you
learned from your journey?
A: The possibility to meet new people each day is
what inspires me!
