Amesquita’s interest in tattooing began at a young age, long before he had access to a professional setup. Like many self-taught artists, he started with limited resources—tattooing in his bedroom with a machine purchased off eBay. What began as a passion project quickly evolved into a professional pursuit. Over time, he gained recognition in Peru’s tattoo community for his technical control, detail-oriented approach, and a growing mastery of black and grey realism.
He eventually co-founded and managed a 15-artist studio in Lima, where he worked for several years and mentored younger artists. His work—often described as meticulous, clean, and emotionally expressive—caught the attention of international tattoo circles and led to an invitation to the United States under an O-1 visa, a special designation granted to individuals with demonstrated extraordinary ability in their respective fields.
In the U.S., Amesquita has become particularly known for micro-realistic pet portraits, a niche within realism that requires extreme precision and emotional sensitivity. His work in this genre often captures the likeness of pets with photographic accuracy, while also conveying sentimentality and depth. “My work has always been about precision and storytelling—whether it’s a tiny portrait that captures someone’s best friend, or a full piece that pushes how we think about design and composition on skin,” said Amesquita.
His portfolio also includes large-scale black and grey pieces, often full sleeves or multi-session works that incorporate complex compositions. Amesquita's approach to these projects emphasizes flow, balance, and contrast, challenging traditional rules of layout and anatomy in favor of more dynamic storytelling through skin.
Over his more than ten years in the tattoo industry, Amesquita has received several honors, including Tattoo of the Day and Best of Show awards at various tattoo conventions. In 2024, he was selected to serve as a judge at an international tattoo convention in Chiclayo, Peru, a role that acknowledged both his experience and his influence within the broader Latin American tattoo community.
Now based at 7 Tattoo Studio in Las Vegas, Amesquita works alongside established tattoo artists in one of the country’s most competitive and fast-paced tattoo markets. The studio is known for its high standards and specialization in realism and fine-line work, aligning with Amesquita’s core strengths. His client base now spans the United States, with many individuals traveling specifically for his work, often booking months in advance for both micro-scale portraits and full-sleeve black and grey designs.
Amesquita is part of a growing movement of Latin American tattoo artists who are shaping the evolution of realism and fine-line tattooing in North America. His work reflects a blend of traditional art training, self-taught techniques, and cultural storytelling, contributing a distinctive voice to the larger global tattoo narrative.
