Andre Bracamonte | Tattoo Apprentice

Born in Bolivia, raised in the wild landscapes of Utah, raised in a family of artist where art wasn’t just a hobby—it was a way of life. I’ve been creating since I could hold a pencil, sketching out nightmares, daydreams, and everything in between. That obsession evolved, and now I’m carving my passion into skin, one needle at a time.

I specialize in realism and surrealism, capturing life and bending reality with every stroke. I’m diving deep into traditional and neotraditional styles, embracing the bold lines and raw storytelling they bring. Horror, gore, and dark humor are the blood pumping through my work—if it’s unsettling or twisted, I’m probably obsessed with it.

I was on the path to becoming a therapist—ironic, right? I wanted to heal minds, but I found my own therapy in art. Tattooing isn’t just ink; it’s blood, sweat, and stories etched permanently. It’s connection, release, and raw expression. I’m here to make my mark—one piece at a time.

Hey! I’m Elise White, a tattoo apprentice working at Golden Cage Tattoo Studio in Midvale, Utah. I’ve always loved art and finally decided to turn that passion into something permanent—literally. Right now, I’m learning the ropes, building my skills, and absorbing knowledge from my mentor, Isaac Serrano, who has been an incredible guide through this journey. My focus is on executing clean lines, exploring unique designs, and diving deep into tattoo history to understand the craft better.

As I progress in my apprenticeship, I'm not only honing my technical skills but also developing my personal style, which I hope will resonate with others seeking body art that speaks to them. I'm passionate about the diverse stories that tattoos can tell and aim to create pieces that are both meaningful and aesthetically pleasing.

Excited to keep growing, I look forward to putting more art on skin and sharing these experiences with you. Stay tuned, I’ll be tattooing soon!
