ABOUT US
Salome & Hernan
1998 Buenos Aires, Argentina
We are a tattoo artist couple from Buenos Aires, Argentina, with over three decades of experience. We began tattooing in the early ’90s as rebellious teenagers, deeply passionate about an art form that, back then, was far from widely accepted.
Growing up in a country in constant crisis sparked a strong desire to travel, to grow, to learn, and to master our craft. In 2001, we took our first major trip to São Paulo, Brazil, where we attended our first tattoo convention. That experience changed everything. We knew this passion would shape the rest of our lives.
From that point on, we never stopped traveling. We worked across Europe, participating in conventions and collaborating with tattooers in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, the Canary Islands, the Basque Country, Milan, Rome, London, Amsterdam, Zurich, Lausanne, and Frankfurt.
In 2006, our first daughter was born, and we returned to Argentina. Five years later, our second child arrived. During their early years, we continued traveling, though for shorter periods. As time went on, we began thinking more about their future and the opportunities we wanted to offer them. Which meant making the difficult decision to leave our country.
In 2018, we resumed our travels in search of a new home. We tried living in cities like Copenhagen and Oslo, but the cold climate didn’t suit us.
Next, we spent a month traveling through California and Nevada in a van, working and exploring places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, and Las Vegas. We ended the trip in San Diego and it was love at first sight. We returned several more times, got to know the city, and knew this was the place for us.
In 2022, we finally made the move to San Diego. After years of hard work and adaptation, we opened our own private studio in Pacific Beach, just three blocks from the ocean. Classic Flow Tattoo is an intimate, artistic space where every client receives a unique, personalized experience. We specialize in classic tattoos, always with our signature touch: with flow.
