I flew in from Texas to get my dog tattooed by Maxi. Best decision ever. The detail is insane, it looks exactly like her. I cried when I saw it.
The Artist
More than 1,000 pet portraits. One specialty.
I was born and raised in Rosario, Argentina. My career took me to Miami, to opening my own studio in New York, and now to making Barcelona my home.
I’ve built my entire work around one thing: turning your favorite photograph of your pet into a lifelike portrait, capturing their expression and personality in just a few inches of skin.
From Antonela Roccuzzo to clients who travel from other countries for a session, every person trusts me with something deeply personal: the memory of someone they love.
My work has been recognized by media outlets in Argentina and the United States.

Portfolio
Every portrait is a one-of-a-kind piece, designed to capture what makes your pet unique.
Healed Work
I was so nervous it wouldn't look like my cat, but Maxi nailed every detail. The whiskers, the eyes, everything. Worth every penny.
My dog passed away last year and I wanted something to remember him by. Maxi gave me the most beautiful tribute. I'll treasure it forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
My next New York guest spot is currently fully booked. Join the waitlist and I’ll personally let you know when a spot opens or new dates are announced.
One portrait is $600, and the session takes approximately 3–4 hours. If you want more than one pet tattooed during the same session, I offer a better combined rate.
Yes. I have tattooed more than 1,000 portraits, and every design is created from your photographs. Before tattooing, we review the design and placement together to make sure it truly represents your pet.
It depends on the photograph, the amount of detail, and the placement. I’ll recommend the smallest size that can still preserve your pet’s expression, fur, and defining features.
How a tattoo evolves depends on its placement, sun exposure, and aftercare. I design each portrait with enough contrast and spacing to remain readable as it settles and ages.
