Dado’s goal is to be one of the well-known tattoo artists in the Philippines. His vision is to make the Philippines known as one of the top countries that makes high-quality artistic tattoos by sharing his skills and teaching his fellow tattoo artists.
He is committed to building strong and lasting relationships with his clients by giving them high-quality tattoos. And Dado is confident in achieving this by listening better, designing better, and tattooing better.
