Award-Winning Tattoo Artist Roger Breda: Realism, Watercolor & BW

Specializes in:

Master Artist | Realism & Micro-Realism | Fine Art Specialist

Roger Breda’s illustrious career began in 1998, born from a lifelong devotion to the visual arts and design. His foundation in the craft is uniquely distinguished; as a young artist in São Paulo, Brazil, he served as an assistant to a renowned fine artist, where he refined the technical disciplines of classical drawing and painting. This elite training allowed Roger to view skin not just as a canvas, but as a medium for high-level artistic expression. With over 25 years of professional experience, Roger has earned international acclaim, bringing his world-class expertise to the Inked NYC team.

A true master of Realism and Micro-Realism, Roger’s work is a sophisticated blend of Black & Grey precision and vibrant color. His signature style often incorporates expressive, painterly elements—reminiscent of watercolor and classical brushstrokes—to create pieces that capture profound human emotion. Whether he is executing a detailed pet portrait or a complex, large-scale composition, Roger views every tattoo as a collaboration. His philosophy is rooted in the “Art of Life,” focusing on translating a client’s personal narrative into a timeless investment that prioritizes artistic integrity over passing trends.

Roger’s creative vision extends far beyond the studio. An accomplished fine artist, he is particularly proud of his original painting series, such as “Decomposition” and “The Invisible,” which explore social critiques and profound human themes. This deep intellectual approach to art is balanced by a life of intense discipline; Roger is a former Jiu-Jitsu competitor and instructor, holding a silver medal from the São Paulo State Championship and a brown belt—a testament to the focus and dedication he brings to every needle stroke.

Now a key figure at Inked NYC, Roger thrives in a professional environment that mirrors his own standards for quality and growth. He finds constant inspiration in the stories of his clients, who travel from all over the world to seek his expertise. For Roger, the most rewarding aspect of his 25-year journey remains the same: the ability to create a lasting connection through art that carries deep, personal meaning for those who wear it.
