Lifetime

Tina Caruso, is a Spanish artist, based in Leeds UK.

Born in Germany and raised in Spain, decided to move to the Uk in 2016.

Since the age of 7, she have been influenced by art, starting art classes with a freelance Artist of her hometown, Teresa Botella. From oil painting to pencil technique, Tina experimented with a wide range of different techniques by the age of 16.

Being a curious mind, without a specific path and style, she developed styles from illustrative to realistic.

She started tattooing at the age of 18, with no formal education or apprenticeship. However, she committed to learning from other artists and started practicing on her own body. Therefore, she consider herself a sel-taught tattoo artist. 

Being an experimental artist allowed her to try different tattoo styles; from traditional, colour and mandalas, to realism. Since 2020, she has mastered her work to black and grey Small and Micro-realism with a very clean Fineline and Dotwork.

She completed her College studies in 2016, specializing in Fine Art. She then took Life Drawing courses among others from Leeds Art University and for the following years, every Friday she would attend Leeds Art Gallery for open view and draw-as-you-feel event.

With a curious mind, she has never stopped learning and due to her ongoing passion and commitment, continues to develop and create.
