ABOUT MARCO
Since beginning his tattoo career in 2017, Marco has built a strong reputation in black & grey realism and stippling. His work is defined by precision, patience, and depth, while remaining open to various styles—except colored realism, which he intentionally chooses not to pursue.
Marco Bermudo’s journey is built on perseverance, grit, and a deep-rooted passion for art. Born in 1993, he started with simple sketching—what began as a hobby soon became the foundation of his path. Encouraged by friends who were already tattoo artists, Marco took a leap into tattooing—a decision that would shape his future.
Before fully stepping into the industry, Marco lived a life of hard work. He worked in construction, developing discipline and resilience, and traveled as a henna artist, sharpening his skills along the way. Without formal education or mentorship, he taught himself everything—earning each technique through persistence and dedication.
Inspired by artists like Aldrin Ace and Daniel Silva, Marco continuously pushes his craft forward. Over the years, he has achieved significant milestones—opening his own studio, becoming a professional artist, and earning multiple championships in tattoo competitions across Iloilo, Cebu, and Bacolod. He has also served as a judge in several local tattoo events, solidifying his presence in the industry.
Now part of Needle Z, Marco carries a mindset that defines his journey:
“Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it.”
“Don’t stop when you’re tired. Stop when you are done.”
