Nicolas Asencios And The Realist Impulse in Tattoo Art



In the vibrant world of contemporary tattoo artistry, few names resonate with the depth and precision of Nicolas Asencios. Born and raised in the dynamic city of Lima, Peru, Asencios has carved a remarkable path from the streets of his hometown to the towering skyline of New York City. Renowned for his mastery of realism and the intricate nuances of black-and-grey tattoo art, his journey reflects a deep commitment to craft and an unyielding passion for artistic expression.

Nicolas's early life was steeped in art. From the tender age of five, he was drawn to the world of drawing and painting, captivated by the potential to transform a blank canvas into a vivid expression of imagination. His early years were marked by a fascination with graffiti, where bold lines and vibrant colors offered a new dimension to his creative pursuits. This exposure laid the foundation for his later work, infusing his art with a raw energy and a keen eye for detail.

Asencios's artistic journey took a significant turn during his architectural studies. The rigorous demands of architecture—requiring precision, spatial awareness, and a deep understanding of form—seamlessly transitioned into his tattoo work. Architecture honed his ability to see beyond the surface, allowing him to infuse his tattoos with a structural elegance that sets his work apart. It was in the halls of academia that Nicolas found his true calling, discovering that his skills with pencil and paper could be translated into the medium of skin.

His entry into the tattoo industry was humble but determined. Nicolas began by tattooing friends and acquaintances, using these early experiences as a platform to refine his technique and develop a personal style. The streets of Lima served as both classroom and canvas, where every tattoo became a lesson in composition, shading, and the delicate balance of light and shadow.

Recognition came swiftly. Nicolas's talent did not go unnoticed, and his work began to attract attention at tattoo conventions across South America. These gatherings of the tattoo community provided him with a stage to showcase his skills, and it wasn't long before he was invited to join the prestigious Inknation Studio in New York City—a turning point that would elevate his career to new heights.

At Inknation, Nicolas stands alongside some of the world's most talented tattoo artists, drawing inspiration from their diverse styles and techniques. He speaks with reverence about his colleagues and mentors, crediting them as a source of continuous learning and growth. This environment of excellence has pushed Nicolas to explore the finer details of his craft, particularly in his study of facial anatomy, which has become a hallmark of his recent work.

Despite his success, Nicolas remains grounded in the simple yet profound satisfaction of his clients' reactions. The joy and appreciation of those who wear his art on their skin fuel his dedication, driving him to perfect his technique with each new piece.

Looking ahead, Nicolas envisions a future where he can pass on his knowledge to the next generation of tattoo artists. His dream is to teach, to share the skills and insights he has gained over years of relentless practice and study. "Teaching would be a dream come true," he says, reflecting his deep commitment to the art form and the community that surrounds it.

As Nicolas Asencios prepares to make his mark in New York City, his story is a testament to the transformative power of passion and perseverance. From the vibrant streets of Lima to the cutting-edge studios of Manhattan, his journey embodies the essence of artistic evolution—a relentless pursuit of excellence that promises to leave an indelible mark on the world of tattoo art.
