:ABOUT ME
RICARDO PRATES
I am a passionate tattoo artist and the owner of Blessed Tattoo Shop, based in Boston/Framingham, dedicated to transforming your body into a canvas for meaningful and beautiful works of art. For many years, I studied ceramics, clay sculpting, plaster arts, oil painting, and hyperrealist drawing, among other art styles.
One of the art forms I fell in love with was graffiti and other types of street art. During my adult life, especially right after I moved to the U.S., my work life became busy, and I struggled to find enough time to practice drawing.
However, I decided to start drawing regularly again and began experimenting with a new art form: tattoo art. With a lot of dedication and effort, I immersed myself in the tattoo world. After several years of practice, I have mastered black and gray realism, portraits, custom designs, floral pieces, and black work.
A fun fact about me: I played professional basketball for several years.
