Rapha Lopes

More than ink on the skin,
each mark is a chapter of your life.

What you feel, I turn into art.

We can’t always put our feelings into words.

But there is a way to give shape to the invisible.

Here, every creation is born from what pulses within — and becomes art on the skin.

The art is born through listening

Rapha Lopes has over 10 years of experience transforming emotions and life stories into art on the skin.

His mission goes beyond technique: he taps into the soul of each person who seeks him out, giving new meaning to scars and creating deep connections through tattooing.

His work is born from listening and from a sensitive interpretation of each individual who visits his studio in Rio de Janeiro.

With his signature approach, he creates during the conversation itself — intuitively, mindfully, and always uniquely.

Each tattoo is more than aesthetic: it is a symbolic expression of the soul, created in partnership with the one who wears it.

The technique is flawless. But what truly makes each piece unique is the connection. The creative process unfolds in the here and now — from the inside out.

Beyond his work as a tattoo artist, Rapha also mentors and guides other artists, expanding the transformative, healing, and connective power of tattoo art.

Além da Tinta: Histórias Reais

Book your experience.

It’s not always easy to put our feelings into words.

But when the urge to mark something on the skin arises, it often carries a deeper calling:

a desire to make the invisible visible — to give form to what pulses within.

In my studio, each creation is born from listening, presence, and connection.

More than ready-made ideas, I seek to understand your truest motivation —

and translate it into art, with respect for your journey.

If you feel that the time has come to live this experience, this form is the first step.
