A considered approach to tattooing, drawing from old-world imagery, natural history, and the quiet drama of the human form.

03 — The artist

Drawn from
the uncanny.

Mateo Pardo is a tattoo artist based in Los Angeles. His work is rooted in contrast: delicate line against dense shadow, the familiar made strange.

Each piece begins as a conversation and ends as a mark that belongs only to its wearer.
