Harley Campos
Harley Campos has been making his mark in the tattoo industry since April 2010, bringing nearly 14 years of passion, creativity, and skill to the table. His journey into the world of tattooing began in childhood, inspired by his father's own adventures in getting inked and attending tattoo conventions. This early fascination with the art form solidified into a serious career path as he approached the end of high school, driven by the straightforward belief that tattoos are, simply put, "sick."
Harley honed his skills through a dedicated apprenticeship at Zen Tattoo, where he learned the intricacies of the craft. He has since developed a unique style that melds illustrative elements with stylized realism, creating tattoos that are both visually striking and deeply meaningful. His artistic approach is heavily influenced by skateboard art and western art, sources that infuse his work with a vibrant, dynamic edge.
At the core of Harley's philosophy is a commitment to excellence without the need for overcomplication—aiming to perfect the tattooing "wheel" rather than reinvent it. He focuses on delivering tattoos that not only meet his high standards but also make his clients proud to wear his art for a lifetime.
While Harley might jest that he hasn't received any formal awards or recognitions, his participation in charitable events like "Ink against cancer" highlights his engagement and reputation within the tattoo community. His contributions extend beyond seeking personal accolades, focusing instead on the impact he can make through his work and presence.
Outside the tattoo studio, Harley's creative spirit continues to thrive through painting, skating, playing music, and riding horses. These interests not only complement his tattooing career but also enrich his life and work with a breadth of inspiration and a sense of balance.
