About me

Waler Montero.

I started this path looking for a way to express what cannot be said with words. Over time I developed my own style, focused on detail, composition and respect for every client. For me, tattooing is not just making a design: it is creating something that truly represents you and makes sense on your skin.

My way of working

I work on each project from the initial idea to the final composition, aiming for every piece to have identity, visual clarity and connection with the person who wears it.

What sets my work apart

Surrealist design

I create pieces with an unconventional aesthetic, where symbolism, composition and creativity combine to generate tattoos with identity and visual depth. Every project is developed from scratch. I don’t work with templates or repeat ideas: each tattoo is designed exclusively for the person who wears it.

Personalization

I prioritize guidance and comfort throughout the process, creating a clear, personal and close experience while staying professional from the first contact.

Complete skin care

I provide recommendations before, during and after the tattoo to ensure proper preparation, healing and long-term preservation of the piece.

Real connection

I seek to understand the meaning behind every project to transform emotions, stories and identity into an authentic, personal piece.

Career

Awards &
recognition

Throughout my career as a professional tattoo artist, I have had the privilege of presenting my work at some of the most prestigious conventions in the world, competing and sharing the stage with top international artists.

My journey has taken me to events and competitions in more than fifteen countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, the United States, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Poland and Switzerland, among others. This international experience allowed me to discover different styles, cultures and artistic approaches that deeply enriched my vision of tattooing.

Over the years I have earned more than 75 awards at national and international conventions, building a career marked by the constant pursuit of excellence, innovation and technical improvement.

Among the most notable achievements are awards received at some of the most important conventions in the tattoo world, including Gods of Ink in Frankfurt, Germany; the World Tattoo Convention in Paris, France; and the prestigious Milan Convention in Italy, globally recognized as industry benchmarks and meeting points for the world’s best artists.

Each award represents years of dedication, discipline and artistic evolution. Beyond recognition, my goal has always been to push my own limits, create unique works and offer every client an international-level experience and result.

Today I continue developing my art with the same passion as in the beginning, bringing my work to new stages and maintaining the commitment to quality that has accompanied me throughout my career.
