Brandon Franco (@brantattoo) is a Colombian tattoo artist celebrated for his hyper-detailed black and grey realism, fine line work, and meaningful, client-centred designs. His style blends emotion and precision, often featuring mythological figures, portraits, spiritual motifs, and custom illustrative pieces.
Based in Envigado, just outside Medellín, he works as a resident artist at Abisal Tattoo Studio, one of Colombia’s top studios known for realism and custom tattooing.
