Juan’s first encounter within the tattooing field began when he was hired exclusively as an artist for custom tattoo designs. He took a digital approach and created a process for servicing his clientele by using a scanner, digital photography and Photo-shop. Quickly, clientele fell much in love with the idea of visually seeing a digital design of their image; before any permanent inking.

However the big question was, WHO WOULD INK THE ART? Juan began taking his projects to various parlours across the city where he became intrigued by yet another method of creating art, using a different tool instead of a pencil but using needles instead of lead. A new challenge; where erasing is NOT an option, a method that requires tedious focus, confidence and an extremely steady hand…were all immensely valuable skills that Juan could manifest from his already developed artistic ability and talent.

It was not long before complete control was sustained over this unfamiliar tattooing tool and Juan’s’ popularity would rapidly rise in exclusive scenes around Toronto,
Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami within the entertainment industry’s movers and shakers who value the PRESTIGE that comes with being unique and working with an artist of status, experience and depth.

Juan’s interest in Art began at a young age, in his home country El Salvador. At age 11, Juan came to Canada and was instantly inspired by the hip hop culture and graffiti art. He developed his style using pencils and shading sticks; at times, dedicating up to 11 hours daily to fully render ONE illustration. Hard work pays off and Juan’s’ work displayed incredible photo-like properties capturing the likeness of his subjects precisely.
Juan enrolled in the Graphic Design program at George Brown College in Toronto..where Juan’s’ art reached new heights; as he developed his abilities in a DIGITAL medium. Access to creativity broadened with advanced knowledge and mastery of software such as Adobe Photo-shop and Illustrator.

Preparation met opportunity and Juan went international with his work..boasting a long list of clients from corporations around the world such as NIKE, FILA, Scholastic NYC, Oxford University Press in Europe & several more.
A large variety of merchandise packaging showcases his art, as well as national advertising campaigns which display his work in various print ads, on bus shelters, billboards, murals, television commercials and much, much more !! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
