✱The Artist
A Life Built by Art
Neto Coutinho left Bahia for São Paulo at 19 years old with nothing but a fascination for what faces and facial expressions can hold. What started as hours spent drawing became a life devoted to realism - capturing expressions in every detail and the stories beneath them. Today, he mentors award-winning tattoo artists, helping them sharpen their technique and finding and developing their own artistic voice.
