Meet Carlo Velasquez *
I was born in Elizabeth, South Australia, and moved to Melbourne at 14. My apprenticeship started at Royal Ink in Melton under Zane Stevens and Gary Oats, and continued at M9 in Avondale Heights, where I learned alongside artists like Luke Dyson and Tristan Bauer. Their influence played a key role in developing my style and technical skills.
Tattooing is more than a profession for me—it's a creative outlet where I combine client vision with my own artistic perspective to produce meaningful, lasting work. My passion for art began early, drawing on my arms as a kid and later exploring digital design and photography. A moment in Prague at 21 helped solidify how I see the world—always searching for the beauty in overlooked places.
Outside the studio, I stay active through soccer, fitness, snowboarding, and water sports. Music, photography, and art galleries are also major sources of inspiration.
