Salutations!
My name is Ariel, and thank you for your interest in Khaos Ink Tattoo, in our mission, and my work. I’m the very proud owner of Khaos Ink Tattoo established in 2011. I’m a Cuban man who was born under a communist government and lived in extremely poor living conditions until I was 10. Born into a total lack of human rights, freedom, adequate food or water, and of course no art tools or supplies. As such, art was never an option for me until my arrival to the United States. Art has been a strong lifelong passion for me. As soon as I got my first set of drawing pencils, I knew art was something I could never again live without.
After high school I went on to college for my Electronic Engineering degree, a worthy journey but not fulfilling to my needs as an artist. After working in this field for some years, my tattoo career began when I apprenticed in a shop located in North Miami, Florida. I've tattooed at multiple shops in Florida and Virginia prior to opening up my studio. I love to work in many different styles and have a preference for my own take on neo-traditional, illustrative, and traditional Japanese tattoos. I’m a pro drummer and semi pro astronomer, and dedicate what precious time I can find to these irresistible pursuits. I take great responsibility and have a very strong passion for my work, and my clients. Thank you for considering me as your artist !
