     "Joel Ortiz Ginorio aka Goldo first developed an appreciation for tattoos at an early age, as his father was tattooed. Throughout his youth, Joel Ortiz Ginorio found ways to express his artistic inspiration through the medium of graffitti while living in Puerto Rico. Eventually, Ginorio would seek out opportunities to learn how to bring his art to the world of tattooing. Over the 9 years he has been tattooing, Ginorio first started in Puerto Rico, tattooing in several tattoo shops including: Sunny’s Tattoo, Skin Designs, Tattoo Plus, and D Tattoo Parlor. Over his tattooing career, Ginorio has participated in about 14 tattoo conventions in the US, Puerto Rico, and Panama winning several awards for his excellence in the Neo Traditional style of tattooing. In 2016, Joel Ortiz Ginorio opened his own tattoo parlor, SprINKfield Quality Tattoos (SQT), alongside a team of artists united as a family. SQT specializes in New School and Neo Traditional tattoos, but are willing and capable of doing other artistic styles. Since partnering with Papillon Tattoo Supply, Ginorio continues to expand his artistic expression using the best inks on the market to ensure the brilliance of his art will shine forever."- Joel Ortiz "Goldo" Ginorio (If you would like to see more about Joel and see some of his artwork, you can visit his Instagram page here.)

     "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.)

 

 

 

Tom Racho

     "My name is Tom Racho, and I am from Cebu City Philippines. I run “Ink Racho Tattoo Studio” at R.Duterte St. Banawa Guadalupe Cebu City Philippines.

     This kind of art runs through my blood. I have two older brothers who are also into tattooing. I was inspired by them and since then I sought to become a tattoo artist and make a name for myself.

     I joined my first tattoo competition in 2012 and got “Champion” for the newbie category. I was very happy back then and challenged myself to compete in “Pro Category”. So I engaged in more tattooing competitions. I may have failed in some of those competitions, but by Gods grace I received numerous awards.

     Everyday I strive to be better than the day before. I specialize in colored realism and can do black and gray realism, Japanese tattoo and Portrait. I am looking forward to meet the well-known Dmitriy Samohin. His art has really inspired me throughout my journey as an artist."-Tom Racho (If you would like to see more about Tom and see some of his artwork, you can visit his Facebook 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.)

     Joe "Diablo" Figueroa (38) is a well-known and respected tattoo artist from Houston, Texas. Born in Anaheim, California, he developed a strong love for art at a very young age. This fascination ultimately led him to tattooing and when it was presented, he seized the opportunity to turn his passion in to his profession.

     Joe began a brief apprenticeship in 2012 from which he quickly transitioned to an independent artist due to his ability and proficiency in the field. With 8 years of professional experience under his belt, he has developed an appreciation for all styles of art. Portraits, Realism and Neo-Traditional are the types of tattoos he enjoys doing the most, yet he is also extremely skilled at creating custom pieces. Joe has attended numerous conventions and held multiple guest spots. Some of his work has been shared by big names such as Rob Zombie and Brian Werner of Vital Remains.

     All that aside, Joe considers his favorite aspects of working in the tattoo industry are the opportunities to meet so many different types of people and to continue expanding his knowledge of tattooing while constantly striving to improve his already impeccable craft. Despite his talent and flourishing number of loyal clients, Joe remains humble and extremely dedicated to his work and his customers.

     Joe has a flair for the macabre, occult and the darker side of the arts while still being a genuine and charming person. This is reflected in his favorite music (ex: Slayer, Pantera and Sepultura) and movies (ex: Devil’s Rejects, The Exorcist, The Thing, as well as the sci-fi and horror genres in general). Painting is another one of his favored art forms. 

     Joe Diablo is currently working independently as a traveling artist in the Greater Houston and surrounding areas and is always looking to expand his practice and acquire new and returning clientele.
