I’mDaniel Santos

A tattoo artist in Lisbon, at AURUM Tattoo Studio, in the heart of Príncipe Real.

Tattoos have been part of my imagination since I was very young. Before I thought of them as a profession, I was the kid at school covered in temporary tattoos.

2021

The move into tattooing.

My journey

My journey began in graphic design, a field that kept me connected to drawing and creativity. In July 2021, I changed direction and immersed myself in the world of tattooing.

I learned through observation, practice and, above all, spending time with more experienced tattoo artists.

A private, welcoming studio

AURUM is a private, welcoming studio designed to make you feel comfortable from the very first moment.

More privacy

No shopfront, no constant foot traffic and no glances from passers-by. Here, the experience is more personal, more peaceful and focused entirely on you.

Time to decide

Time and privacy to make each decision without rushing.
