Who I Am

Market builder in the tattoo industry

I’m Javier Maidana, with more than 30 years of experience in the tattoo and body art industry across Latin America. Not as an artist, but from the business side: distribution, brand development, market expansion and industry professionalization.

My work has always been focused on connecting global brands with distributors, operators and professionals across the region. I understand the market from the inside — its complexity, its opportunities and its cultural nuances.

"The tattoo industry in LATAM has massive untapped potential. My goal is to accelerate its professionalization, connect key players and build a strong, sustainable business ecosystem."
