Today we’d like to introduce you to Juliano Trindade.
Hi Juliano, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Juliano Trindade
Born May 5th, 1994 — Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Growing up in Brazil with both parents as artists, Juliano’s world was surrounded by creativity, mythology, and folklore from an early age. These influences shaped his visual language and deep connection to storytelling through art.
Since 2013, Juliano has been developing his craft as a tattoo artist, blending mythicism, romanticism, and traditional tattoo culture. Over time, his work evolved into engraving, taking the same precision and intensity from tattooing skin and applying it to metal, motorcycles, and anything that carries a story.
Beyond the studio, Juliano’s passion for movement and adrenaline drives his lifestyle. He rides motorcycles and bicycles, often performing stunts and merging the worlds of art and action. His engraved bikes and custom parts reflect the same discipline and rhythm found in riding, every line cut with intention, every ride treated like a living artwork.
Inspired by the traditional techniques of gravure, Juliano creates striking imagery through a play of consecutive lines, patterns, and shadows, transforming modern machines into timeless pieces that bridge craftsmanship, mythology, and motion.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not really, it’s been a mix of passion, chaos, and constant reinvention. Coming from Brazil and trying to build a name in another country wasn’t easy. I had to start from zero, work long hours, and figure out how to turn what I love, tattooing, engraving, and riding, into something that could actually support my life.
There were times I didn’t know if art alone could keep me going. I’ve dealt with burnout, back pain from years of tattooing, and moments of doubt where I questioned if any of this made sense. But every challenge pushed me to find new ways to create, engraving bikes, painting, filming, collaborating with brands, all while staying true to the style and energy that define me.
In the end, those struggles became part of the story. They made me more determined to turn my lifestyle, the mix of art, riding, and freedom, into something that inspires others to chase what they love, even when the road isn’t smooth.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m a tattoo artist, engraver, and illustrator who mixes fine art with riding culture. My work is built around the idea that anything can become a canvas, skin, metal, plastic, or even a motorcycle. What started as tattooing evolved into engraving bikes and parts, combining the precision of traditional craftsmanship with the energy and freedom of riding.
My style is inspired by mythology, romanticism, and the old techniques of gravure, using fine, consecutive lines to create deep, storytelling images. I like to bring that feeling of timelessness into modern objects, turning machines into artworks that carry emotion, texture, and history.
I think what sets me apart is that my work doesn’t stay in one place. I live it. I ride, crash, rebuild, and create from that same energy. Every line I carve or draw comes from experience, the rhythm of engines, the movement, and the obsession with pushing limits.
I’m most proud of being able to combine all those worlds, art, riding, and storytelling, and build something that feels honest to who I am. Collaborating with brands like Stark Future and others who share that vision made me realize that art can exist anywhere, as long as it comes from truth and passion.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
I think people often mistake “gift” or “talent” as something divine, like it’s unreachable or something only a few are born with. But to me, a gift is just extra interest — that natural pull you feel toward something that makes you want to spend more time with it. The more time and attention you give, the better you get, and people start calling it talent.
That’s really what happened with me. I got obsessed with drawing, tattooing, engraving, and riding. I kept repeating, failing, learning, and improving because I was genuinely interested in it. That constant curiosity and persistence are what built everything I have today.
So I’d say the most important quality is interest, the kind that keeps you doing it even when it’s hard, even when no one’s watching.
