Marina Farran

Hi! My name is Marina Farran

I was born in Barcelona, the city where I currently live and work.

Although I did not follow traditional artistic studies, I've always had a very curious personality which led me, I think, along with other coincidences, to be interested in tattooing and start learning in a self-taught way and Through the people I've met along the way.

At the age of 19 I moved to Mexico City. The connection with this place and its people was so great for me, that I ended up staying until I was 32 years old. Among friends, I began to tattoo and developed what would become my profession and a great passion of my life.

Throughout all these years I have traveled, worked as guest and in conventions in many countries around Europe, America and Asia and currently, I work regularly in three studios based in Barcelona, UK and Sweden.

As a tattoo artist, I have a great interest in floral elements (I have a special passion for peonies, lotuses and chrysanthemums!) and ornamentation, geometry, mandalas....

Technically, my work is always a dance between Blackwork and Dotwork, between pure black and the many shades of gray that the dotwork offers me. I play with lines and curves, simetries and the many possibilities I find in the combination of these two techniques, always with a special interest in making my work adapt harmoniously to the anatomy of the body.
