Guillermo Barros
"Guillermo Barros is a Papillon sponsored tattoo artist from Quito, Ecuador. He began his tattoo artist career in the year 1999. Currently, Guillermo owns his own tattoo shop called Triom Tattoo Studio (Opened in 2011).
During his career as a tattoo artist, Guillermo has consolidated the Realistic Portraits, realism tattoo style, and Neo oriental with dominating color techniques and fusing them with shades of grey. He applies his versatile tattooing techniques to tattoo the skin with different methods of representations of art.
Since the early stages of his career as a tattoo artist, Guillermo has been using materials from Papillon Tattoo Supply. The high quality of their inks such as the original Starbrite, have been his choice of ink to create beautiful pieces of art. Once the colors are applied in the tattoo, they are long lasting and the skin heals quickly and without complications.
After 20 years, Guillermo is still using the products from Papillon Tattoo Supply. They are maintaining the quality of its inks and keeping up with the changes in the industry. They have a wide variety of quality tattoo supplies such as their coil tattoo machines, which are the ones Guillermo used as an apprentice, to the Renfield – Rotary Tattoo machines, which Guillermo uses nowadays."-Guillermo Barros (If you would like to see more about Guillermo and see some of his artwork, you can visit his Instagram page here.)
Jubert Bellita
"I am Jubert Bellita from CeBu City Philippines. I started drawing from a young age and motivated by my passion for art, I grew an interest towards tattoos. I started a tattoo apprenticeship in 2005 at home, where I had a chance to develop my artistic skills, which led me to become a tattoo artist.
I opened a private tattoo studio called Jubert Tattoo in Juana Osmeña, Capitol Site, Cebu City, where I am currently based as a tattoo artist and the owner at the same time.
I took inspiration for my art from different artists for their creativity on delivering the concept of their ideas as well as their technical abilities.
When I first started tattooing I was focusing on traditional style tattoos but I found it hard to make them unique and personal, therefore I realized that I wanted to express my own creativity and that I was naturally predisposed for a style that would allow more freedom and individual input: colored portrait and black and gray realism.
I like to put my individuality and personal touch in my artwork. Looking forward to more collaborations, guest spots, conventions, and art interactions, I would like to bring my tattoo work around the world."-Jubert Bellita (If you would like to see more about Jubert and see some of his artwork, you can visit his Facebook page here.)
