Kel Otero is a professional tattoo artist working across black and grey, floral, Japanese-inspired and anime pieces. His work is built around strong composition, clean contrast and tattoos that still read beautifully as they age.

Every project starts with the person wearing it: placement, flow, reference, skin, story and the amount of visual force the piece needs. The result is custom work with a clear point of view, made for collectors who care about detail.
