Graffiti Tattoo - Allcity

Luis MendonçaLa Linea de la Concepción, Cádiz, SpainMy first time painting on a wallwas at the age of 14. It was the firstgraffiti ever painted in our neighborhood,La Linea de la Concepción. My crewwas composed of Dani Muñoz, Kaberna and I,we were writing “sk8” and “rap for life!”. I didn’twrite much at the time since there were toomany limitations. I started painting aliens andthings related to Hip Hop culture. Believe me,I was writing way less than I wanted to. Lateron I started doing jams and showcasing themost respected graffiti artists from our area.These days I don’t paint anymore. I am more ofan event producer and tattoo artist today.I have always been into tattoos and allkinds of sketches. I began learning tattooingaround 1996 or 1997 in a rock shop onGibraltar, the English colony. I worked therefor many years selling clothes at the store untilthe day that I decided that I needed a professionwith which I didn’t need to work foranybody else and could have fun at work.There is nothing better than to sell something(tattoos) that is eternal, for life.I had a mentor for four years. He was intosimple and linear designs, with good styleand technique but not too artistic. I was intorealism, which I learned about through greattattoo artists who inked my skin. I also learneda lot at the tattoo conventions, where you canmeet talented and cool people and see manyfresh styles.Every year I’m getting better, perfectingmy craft and loving what I do more andmore. I see my ideas more clearly now and it’sbecoming easier to bring them to skin.blackdragontattoopiercing@hotmail.com Black Dragon TattooCoronel Cadalso # 2La Linea de la ConcepciónCádiz, Spainmyspace.com/ink_blackdragonfotolog.com/ink_blackdragon146147
