Originally from Matanzas, Cuba, Ernesto Torres is a realism tattoo artist based in Roswell,
Georgia. His artistic journey began in his hometown, where he studied art before advancing to the prestigious University of the Arts (ISA) in Havana, Cuba.

After moving to the United States, Ernesto took ownership of Buckhead Murals, a company originally founded by his brother and dedicated to creating artistic murals. His passion for art later evolved into tattooing, where he trained under the mentorship of renowned artist Jean Alvarez.

With precise technique and a deep focus on detail, Ernesto quickly gained recognition in the tattoo industry, winning first place in the Small Black and Gray category at Atlanta’s Villain Arts Tattoo Festival.

Today, his work blends classical artistic training with the depth and realism that define his tattooing style. Every piece he creates is a fusion of technique, passion, and authenticity.
