Tattoos can be polarizing. While some see them as permanent forms of body art and self-expression, others do not care for such permanence, seeing them as mistakes to be acknowledged later on in life.

Whatever one’s opinion however, talent like that of Yomico Moreno cannot be denied.

Moreno, 29, is a Venezuelan artist who has done some of the most impressive tattoos we have ever seen.

He has even taken part in some of the largest tattoo and body piercing conventions in the world.

Moreno became interested in tattooing at the age of 14 and has since traveled to Australia, Belgium, Denmark and England.

Check out some of the work that has kept Moreno busy in the 9 years he has been tattooing professionally.
