He quickly managed to officially enter a tattoo studio in the city and the artist who gave him the opportunity at that time was Julio Flores who was the owner until today of a famous tattoo studio in the city that always housed great local and national artists. . Marlon took the opportunity with a lot of commitment and with only one month of trial, Marlon managed to stay due to the effort and commitment which lasted about 1 year learning every day.

Later at a tattoo convention in Caracas Venezuela he managed to meet a Latin artist at that time Stefano Alcantara and his partner, who gave Marlon the opportunity to go for the first time as a resident artist outside his country and thus began his artistic career as tattoo artist and I spent 2 years in Lima Peru.

Then I travel for the first time to Europe as a guest artist for 2 months more or less to a tattoo studio located in a small town near Stockholm – Sweden, “30 minutes away by train or car”, a great experience full of a lot of learning with other international artists of a very good level.

Marlon returns to Latin America again to finish projects that he had started and then received a proposal for a visa to live and work in Sweden, which he accepts and begins his journey as a rising artist with great artistic potential.
