Santi Hernandez on a bench

Hi! I’m SANTIAGO, a tattoo artist at Studio 13. I joined the studio about a year ago after completing my apprenticeship in Danvers. Art has always been a significant part of my life, but it wasn’t until three years ago that I discovered my passion for tattooing.

My sister, who is also a tattoo artist, inspired me to take this path. Her encouragement led me to begin an apprenticeship at a tattoo shop, where I realized I had a natural talent for details, like drawing precise straight lines—something that many beginners find challenging. This journey has helped me uncover and refine my skills, and I’m committed to improving every day through practice, dedication, and exploration of new techniques.

My goal as a tattoo artist is to ensure every person who sits in my chair leaves feeling confident and fulfilled. I strive to bring their ideas to life, creating designs that capture their vision while providing a meaningful and unique tattooing experience.
