The Master of Color Realism is Leaving NYC... And Coming to Tampa for 4 Days Only!

Who is Paul Aramayo?

If you’ve been looking for a world-class tattoo artist, you usually have to buy a plane ticket. Not this time! We are beyond hyped to announce that Paul Aramayo, a phenomenal New York-based tattoo artist, will be doing an exclusive guest spot at The Secret Tattoo Studio in Tampa.Originally from Quito, Ecuador, Paul discovered his passion for drawing and visual arts at a very young age. Fast forward over 16 years, and he has traveled the globe, mastering his craft and developing an instantly recognizable artistic voice. His work isn't just about flawless technique; it's about the emotion, character, and deep individuality he brings to every single piece.

The Styles: What Makes Paul’s Art So Special?

While many artists stick to one niche, Paul is a true powerhouse who has mastered several highly complex styles:

  • Color Realism: This is where Paul truly shines. Whether it's a portrait, wildlife, or cinematic scenes, his color packing is so vibrant and detailed it looks like an HD photograph on your skin.
  • Trash Polka: A highly requested, chaotic yet beautiful style that mixes photorealism with aggressive brush strokes, geometric shapes, and a strict black, grey, and bright red color palette.
  • New School: Bold outlines, exaggerated proportions, and electric colors that look like comic book art bursting out of the skin.

When is Paul Aramayo going to be in Tampa?

Paul will be working out of The Secret Tattoo Studio for four days only: August 14th through August 17th.

What is a Trash Polka tattoo?

If you want something edgy and unique, Trash Polka is it. Originating in Germany, it combines realistic images (like skulls or portraits) with abstract, chaotic splashes of black and red ink. Paul is one of the few artists who executes this complex style perfectly.

Can Paul do a cover-up for me during his visit?

Yes! With his mastery of Color Realism and bold styles, Paul is heavily experienced in executing incredible cover-ups that completely hide old, unwanted ink.

Guest spots fill up incredibly fast, and with Paul’s 16 years of expertise and NYC reputation, his books for August 14-17 will not stay open for long. Don’t miss your chance to collect a masterpiece from one of the best in the game!
