The tattooing process begins with a consultation with the client, during which ideas, references, expectations, and possibilities for the project are discussed. Based on this exchange, Rodrigo Botero develops or adapts the design, taking into consideration the anatomy of the body and the visual language of tattooing.

His approach to tattooing is not restricted to a specific style, aesthetic, or social niche. His artistic practice is driven by a broader interest in tattooing as a cultural and social phenomenon. The investigation of different tattooing styles, symbols, traditions, and contemporary practices becomes a kind of anthropological and sociological inquiry into human behavior, identity, culture, and social relationships.

In this sense, researching tattooing can take on an almost forensic character: by examining the images people choose to place on their bodies, as well as the historical and social contexts from which these images emerge, he investigates aspects of human and social life. The body becomes both the medium and the subject of this artistic investigation.

Depending on the project, the work may be based on one of his previously developed original drawings (WannaDos), an idea provided by the client, or a composition created specifically for the individual. During the tattooing session, the design is further adapted to the body and its particular characteristics.

Tattooing is therefore approached not merely as a service or a decorative practice, but as an artistic process that combines drawing, composition, research, and execution on the body. Each tattoo becomes an individual work while also forming part of a broader investigation into the cultural and social meanings of tattooing.
