Guest tattooist perfects people and pets

A tattooist with more than 20 years of experience is the guest artist at Body Canvas Tattoo Parlour this month.

Brazilian artist Saulo Brandao specializes in portraits of people and animals, and will be available for bookings until the end of the month.

Located in Windsor Place on Queen Street, the parlour was opened in March by Vinny Caldas. 

He has enjoyed working with a variety of customers with diverse interests. 

Brandao has worked internationally including in his native Brazil. 

He owns his own Tattoo Parlour in Brazil and has collaborated as a guest artist in Spain and Germany. 

Both Caldas and Brandao say that customer comfort, artistic creativity, and safety and hygiene are top priorities.

Passionate

Passionate about the art, Caldas presented at the Pecha Kucha evening in November where he explored the history and reach of tattooing across time and cultures.

His shop hosts a variety of imagery for interested customers to browse but both artists are experienced in customizing particular images, unique to an individual. 

Caldas told the Bermuda Sun: “Many more Bermudians are now enjoying using their body to tell their stories as this high standard now comes to the island. The name Body Canvas encompasses the appreciation that people can express themselves on their skin, telling a story, remembering a loved one, or simply sharing what they care about.”

Anyone interested is invited to visit the shop on the mezzanine level of Windsor Place (22 Queen Street). They can email [email protected] or visit the Facebook page to see more of the tattoo portfolio and receive updates on promotions: Body Canvas Tattoo Parlour.
