Who is Tatted Berto ?

So many of you have been curious about my tattoos and what it means to be 'tatted like a Mexican,' or just generally 'inked.' It's something I get asked about a lot, and honestly, every piece of art on my skin tells a story. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s a living canvas reflecting my journey, my beliefs, and my heritage. Each tattoo marks a moment, a memory, or a value that’s important to me. For instance, some of my pieces are deeply connected to my faith, reflecting that 'Loves Jesus' aspect of my life. Others are nods to my 'Mexican' roots, weaving in symbols and imagery that honor my family and culture. It’s a way of carrying my history with me, literally. Being 'tatted' can sometimes come with stereotypes, but for me, it's about self-expression and owning my narrative. It’s interesting because while I might present a certain image with my ink, I'm actually a big 'homebody' at heart. My ideal day often involves chilling at home with my furry companion – because yes, I'm totally a 'dog person'! There’s nothing quite like the comfort of my own space, enjoying quiet moments. It’s a balance, you know? The outside world sees the ink, but close up, you see the guy who loves his dog and finds peace in simple things. And speaking of passions, let’s talk about being a 'sneaker head'. That’s another big part of who I am. There’s an art to sneakers, from the design to the history behind certain limited editions. It's not just footwear; it's a form of collecting and a way to express creativity from the ground up. Whether I'm rocking a classic pair or something more unique, my sneakers are definitely a conversation starter, often completing the look that my tattoos start. It’s all part of the personal style I’ve cultivated, growing up 'from Chicago' and absorbing the vibrant culture of the city. My journey has been about embracing all these different facets. From being proud of my heritage as a 'Mexican' individual, carrying my stories through my 'inked' skin, finding solace as a 'homebody' with my 'dog,' and expressing my personality through my 'sneaker' collection – it all weaves together. It’s about being authentic and sharing who I am, without apology. I hope this gives you a bit more insight into what makes me, me. It's been a ride, and I'm always learning and evolving, but these core elements really define my world.
