His work is driven by a constant search for new forms of mutation within tattooing,
rejecting the digital as a dominant language and returning to error, noise, and the physical.
There is no simulation here — only contact, pressure, and wear.
Everything emerges from analog processes,
where texture is not illustrated, but revealed.
Where the image is not controlled, but contaminated.
Tools stop being precise and become organic.
Mistakes are not corrected — they are absorbed.
Distortion is not a flaw — it is the result.
Each piece is a conscious wound,
a real transformation of the skin,
far from the clean, lifeless perfection of the digital.
LONG LIVE THE OLD FLESH
Here is a selection of some of these processes.
EXPERIMENTS
On the occasion of the launch of the new Antidoto28 collection at the Ombra music festival in Barcelona, held in a former car factory, artists Mocho 131, Chino Cob, and Nicenoise developed a multidisciplinary collaboration combining tattooing, screen printing, and audiovisual installation.
The concept consisted of transferring the design onto the skin using screen printing techniques, and then tattooing it during the festival. In this process, Mocho developed a special ink that allows the design to be screen printed directly onto the skin and used as a stencil for the tattoo, achieving a precise and direct transfer of the image.
The performance was set within an installation of analog television monitors displaying footage from security cameras, intervened in real time with glitch effects, creating the visual environment of the project.
The design is based on a photograph of the factory’s roof structure, which serves as the main visual for the Antidoto28 collection.
