The Artist
Over 1,000 pet portraits. One specialty. Born and raised in Rosario, Argentina, I moved to Miami with an O-1 visa, granted to individuals with extraordinary ability in their field. I've built my entire career around one thing: turning your favorite photo of your pet into a hyper-detailed, lifelike tattoo that fits in 1 to 3 inches of skin.
From Antonela Roccuzzo to clients who fly in from across the country just for an appointment, people trust me with what matters most to them.
My work has been featured in some of the most recognized media outlets in Argentina and the U.S.
Portfolio
Every portrait is a one-of-a-kind piece, designed to capture what makes your pet unique.
Healed Work
"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."
"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
Yes. I've tattooed over 1,000 pet portraits and my entire career is built on accuracy. I'll share a stencil with you before we start so you can see the likeness before any ink touches your skin.
My portraits range from 1 to 3 inches. Even at this size, I capture full detail — eyes, fur texture, personality. That's what makes micro realism special.
Since my tattoos are small, sessions are typically 3-4 hours — much shorter than larger pieces. Most clients say it's very manageable.
Currently booked about 3 months out. The sooner you submit your request, the sooner we can get you scheduled.
A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session. I accept cash, Zelle, and credit card.
Absolutely. While pets are my specialty, I also do micro realistic portraits of people — babies, loved ones, memorials. Same quality, same attention to detail.
When done correctly, micro realism tattoos age beautifully. I use techniques specifically designed for longevity at small scale — proper needle depth, precise saturation, and strategic contrast. Over time the lines soften slightly, which actually gives the portrait a more natural look. Following aftercare instructions is key to keeping it sharp for years.
Many of my clients fly in specifically for their appointment. Submit your request and we'll coordinate a date that works for your travel plans.
Yes! I regularly travel to tattoo in other states and countries. Follow me on Instagram to stay updated on upcoming locations, or send me a DM to ask about my next trip.
