Profile of Monsternarii

Monsternarii is a renowned Brazilian tattoo artist whose journey began in 2006. With over nineteen years of experience, he’s mastered a unique fusion of classic and contemporary styles. He meticulously curates his Instagram feed as a showcase of his work, and continually experiments with diverse media—illustration, digital art, and mixed techniques—to keep his creativity fresh and inspiring.

Stylistic Evolution

• He began his artistic journey in the world of graffiti and street art, where he discovered a passion for calligraphy. As his style evolved, he embraced abstraction—blending diverse fonts and lettering into dynamic compositions. In 2019, after relocating to London, he immersed himself in Minimalism, crafting elegant designs confined within clean frames. Often featuring floral motifs set in precise square borders, these new works mirror the creative tension and feelings of limitation he experienced upon moving to a new country.

• Gradually broke free from these visual “boxes,” developing abstract compositions of fluid lines and movement to symbolize the freedom he gained while living abroad.

Creative Process and Technique

• Studies anatomical composition and the body’s natural flow before each session to place curves and shapes in an organic way.

• Collaborates directly with clients, sketching ideas together on the day of the appointment to ensure each project is unique and personal.

Inspirations and References

• He channels the vibrancy of Brazilian street art and his own immigrant journey into every piece. His practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu informs a sense of flow, adaptability and self-acceptance—qualities you can see in the seamless continuity of his lines. A lifelong lover of architecture and art, he’s recently embraced brutalism’s pared-down forms, weaving its raw simplicity into his work to heighten emotional resonance.
