Andrés Makishi was born on March 17th, 1996, in Lima, Peru to a family of multi-media artists. Having been immersed in art since his birth, Andrés began his pursuit in graphic design at the ISIL Institute in Lima. Within two years his passions led him into tattooing which offered the most natural of canvases in contrast to his previous work on computers.
As the tendrils of tattoo artistry continued to grow within him, Andrés continued to elevate his skills. He found his home with Zhimpa at Zhimpa Tattoo Studio. While still working with Zhimpa and the studio, Andrés continued his studies in Graphic Design & in 2015 he finished his academic career as top of his class for his amazing performance.
Never content to stay within the constraints of one medium, he continues to follow his family’s legacy of multi-media artistry by picking up and excelling in painting. He is currently specializing in tattooing in black & gray, color, realism, and micro-realism tattoos. Andrés has attended a myriad of conventions in Perú, México, Germany, and Colombia, thus achieving several 1st place awards which makes him one of the best tattoo artists in Perú. His talent has been recognized in several magazines and media, marking him as being one of the preferred tattoo artists by TV social media.
