A course by Molina Tattoo
Juan Pablo Molina started his career as an art teacher after graduating in visual arts and education. Since 2015 however, he has been dedicated solely to the art of tattooing and these days is known as Molina Tattoo. He is the founder and owner of Nomade Tattoo Studio, a renowned tattoo studio in the coastal town of Viña del Mar in Chile where he receives international guests and tattoo artists. His work is distinguished for combining illustration, realism, and watercolor-style techniques, where the use of color is the star in each and every one of his tattoos.
In each of his tattoos, Juan Pablo applies the knowledge of aesthetic, color, and composition that he learned from his studies in visual arts. He also had the opportunity to work in the design and graphic production sector for five years, where he perfected his use of design software and later complemented it with digital illustration.
