Traditional American and Japanese Tattoos Made with Passion and Dedication
For over a decade, Marcos Ortega has approached tattooing as an art form that blends tradition, technique, and personal expression. His focus lies in two cornerstone styles: traditional American tattooing and traditional Japanese tattooing (irezumi). Bold designs, strong lines, and vibrant colors are executed with precision and respect for the craft's history.
Whether it’s a fierce tiger, a lurking panther, an eastern dragon, or a delicate cherry blossom, each tattoo is hand-drawn by Marcos and tailored to the client's body and vision.
Over 12 Years of International Tattooing Experience
Marcos began tattooing in 2012. Since then, he has developed his own style rooted in tradition, refined through years of work in renowned studios in Berlin, London, and Spain. His career has established him as one of the most internationally recognized tattoo artists in Castellón.
A Career Built with Dedication
His story starts in Madrid, influenced by the punk and DIY aesthetic. After moving to London to begin a formal apprenticeship, Marcos relocated to Berlin, where he worked with a loyal clientele for over a decade. There, he co-owned two iconic studios: Out of Step Tattoo Parlour and Stay Free Tattoo. Today, he divides his work between Castellón, Madrid, and Berlin, always staying true to traditional tattooing.
