Portrait of Sammy Ramirez of Sammy Tattoo Studio Guadalajara, Mexico | Salvador Rojas Photography
Sammy Ramirez Hernandez was born in 1960, in San Juan de Dios, the heart
of Guadalajara (Jalisco, Mexico). His first tattoo back in 1974 was a little
apple symbolizing the original sin. It was applied using simple methods by his
friend Joe.
He got his first professional machine-made tattoo in 1981 in
the "Centavo de Oro Tattoo Shop" located in Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico).
This was the very first tattoo shop open to the public in all of Mexico. Mr.
Tattoo and assistant Raul Aceves ran this ground-breaking tattoo shop.
Sammy first worked like an apprendice in various tattoo centers in
Mexico. In 1982 he worked for Nosferatu Tattoo Shop, owned by Daniel Olguin.
He opened his first tattoo shop in 1983 helped by his mentor, Frank
Garcia in Anaheim, California.

In 1986 he opened "Sammy Tattoo Studio".
In 1996 he contributed
to the "Asociacion Mexicana de Dermografía" to set the guidelines for the safe
and formal application of tattoos. This association has helped tattoos evolve
into an art with total hygene and top techniques, and has helped much of the
prejudice against tattoos crumble.
Sammy has organized six Expo Tatuaje
Internacional events in Guadalajara, Mexico. They have been a great success
measured by the names both national and international that attend each year and
the friendly atmosphere that visitors find. The event is recognized more and
more every year and the 2009 convention marked the XV year anniversary.
In 1996 he also organized the 1st Expo Tatuaje Nacional in Culiacan
(Sinaloa, Mexico) to help people perceive tattoos more like an legitimate art
form.
In 1998 he worked in Lacky Tattoo Shop in Grenchen, Switzerland.
There Lacky invited Sammy to the Lausanne Tattoo Expo to have a chance to see
great world-famous tattoo masters.
He has been to most tattoo expos in
Mexico; Tijuana, Monterrey, Morelia, Leon, Culiacan, Puebla and Mexico City.
