For years, my art reached places far beyond where I ever imagined it would.
Then one message changed everything.
For 14 years, I built my career one tattoo at a time, putting everything I had into every piece I created.
Cleopatra Ink didn’t just see the tattoos I made. They saw the years behind them, the dedication, the sacrifices, and the artist behind the work.
With their support and O-1 visa sponsorship, my art found a new stage in the United States, and for my family, a whole new beginning became possible.
I’m Raffa Santos, an award-winning tattoo artist, and I’m now taking appointments at Cleopatra Ink.
