RICARDO PRATES

I am a passionate tattoo artist based in Boston/Framingham, dedicated to transforming your body into a canvas for meaningful and beautiful works of art.

For many years, I studied ceramics, clay sculpting, plaster arts, oil painting, and hyperrealist drawing, among other art forms. One of the styles I fell in love with was graffiti and other forms of street art.

During my adult life, especially right after moving to the U.S., my work became busy, and I struggled to find enough time to practice drawing. However, I decided to start drawing regularly again and began experimenting with a new art form: tattoo art. With dedication and effort, I immersed myself in the tattoo world.

After several years of practice, I have honed my skills in black and gray realism, portraits, custom designs, floral pieces, and black work.

These will be the main styles I continue to offer at Blessed, always focusing on ensuring clients are delighted with impressively precise drawings and high-quality tattoo designs.
