ABOUT DADO
From a young age, Ricardo “Dado” David knew art would shape his life. Long before tattoo machines, conventions, and international stages, he was already immersed in creativity—studying Fine Arts major in Industrial Design at both University of Santo Tomas and Philippine Women's University. But while schools helped refine his artistic foundation, tattooing became the path he chose to master on his own.
Dado entered the tattoo industry in 2013 as a self-taught artist driven by obsession, discipline, and an unshakable hunger to improve. He studied relentlessly—learning through practice, observation, seminars, and nonstop experimentation. For him, tattooing was never just about placing ink on skin. It was about transforming ideas into timeless art and exceeding every client’s expectations.
