Art plays an important role in the daily lives of people in Puerto Vallarta, shaping community identity, inspiring creativity, and enriching public spaces. From murals and sculptures along the Malecón to local cultural events and artistic expression, creativity is woven into everyday life. Within this vibrant landscape, 33Studio by Johnny Marquez has become a meaningful part of the city’s tattoo art culture, contributing to Puerto Vallarta’s evolving artistic scene.

Tattoo concepts help shape everything from the symbolism and style to placement and composition, ensuring each tattoo reflects the wearer’s identity and intention.

Tattooing is more than just ink on skin — it is one of the most unique and personal forms of art. Unlike traditional art that lives on canvas or paper, tattoos become part of the human body, blending creativity with identity, emotion, and storytelling.

For thousands of years, tattoos have been a powerful form of human expression. Long before they became part of modern fashion and identity, tattoos were used in rituals, social ranking, protection, spirituality, and storytelling across cultures around the world.
