About
Hi, and thanks for passing by!
I’m Daniel, a botanical artist based in London. I specialize in large-scale, freehand botanical tattoos, creating one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to the body shape of those wearing my designs.
My interest in flora began during childhood in Buenos Aires, as my mum collected plants and cuttings. Watching them grow offered a grounding feeling that still holds meaning for me today, as I continue to grow my own botanical collections in any place I call home.
Drawing and painting have been my biggest passions for as long as I can remember, and I only found myself tattooing a little over a decade ago.
It was only when I began drawing botanical motifs directly on people’s bodies that I learned how to combine my painting and illustration skills with my love for plants and nature.
My practice on skin is about translating each person’s stories into unique compositions that reflect on their emotional bond to site-specific flora and the memories, places, and people that form part of it.
Throughout this process, I also expand my own understanding of the vital role plants play in our lives.
Last year, I completed a residency at Sarabande Foundation, where I returned to painting on canvases and collaborated with different institutions, including a live tattoo performance at Chelsea Physic Garden, London’s oldest botanic garden.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
