Hello, my name is Rafa Garabal and Sick Nurse Tattoo is my mark

«I started to tattoo professionally in the beginning of 2012, after some years working in a very different field: Nursery. Once I found the way, I quit my old job to start dedicating myself to my passion, even though using needles as my main instrument..

I love to make color tattoos, more and more every time, but I feel really comfortable tattooing in black and grey.
In my work you can see the use of a good amount of black and lines, even in my most “realistic” pieces.
High contrast between black and skin, soft shading and attention to detail and textures are the elements I try to use to achieve the desired result.

I am specialized in 2 styles of tattooing, even though I can tattoo in many other styles:
In one hand, there is Black and Grey, realistic tattoos, with a “dark” twist in many cases. In this kind of tattoos you can find skulls, roses, animal portraits, faces, etc.
In the other hand, I usually make tattoos with a more graphic look, using fluid colors and ink splashes or “brushstrokes”, that make a good contrast with realism.

Apart from tattooing, I really love to experiment with oil painting, ink on paper and other mediums, but my favorite technique is graphite and charcoal on paper».
