About the Artist

I'm Cristian, a professional tattoo artist based in Salem, MA, specializing in cinematic realism and full-color portraits. My work is deeply influenced by 80s and 90s movies, horror classics, action icons, and dark fantasy art.

Each piece I create is custom-designed and crafted with precision, passion, and storytelling at its core. I don't just tattoo skin — I bring characters, emotions, and visual impact to life through ink.

If you're a fan of movies, nostalgia, and powerful visual art, you're in the right place.
