CTA: Did you Grow up or were you surrounded by people with any artistic background ?
Ludo: I had a few folks around me growing up that were artistically inclined, everything from draftsman to illustrators. I was always supported in my pursuit of art, although it did take a bit more convincing when I started tattooing.
CTA: How did you get into tattooing?
Ludo: I moved to California for college to study painting and theology. I was doing design work for bands and saw a lot of great tattoo art in that field. Met a lot of great people, fell in love with the craft and the history. I decided to start looking for an apprenticeship shortly thereafter.
CTA: Did you have any favorite Artists that you look at for inspiration / influence?
Ludo:
CTA: Did you grow up in a Christian Home(Family Grandparents etc) ,have any Christian Influences growing up?
Ludo: I was raised Presbyterian, had a strong Christian family and still do. As with many young folks who go to college I fell away from my faith and my values for a time. It was my mentor Aaron Madrigal who not only taught me how to tattoo but also helped bring me back to God.
CTA: Any last words of encouragement for anyone who might be reading this?
Ludo: I have been able to have so many positive interactions and conversations with clients, and coworkers throughout my career. In a field that does also attract a lot of folks who think opposite to me I do find that sometimes the best way to interact is to simply live a life that shows Gods love.
Grace and patience.
