Musta is a Madrid-born tattoo artist specialising in Traditional and Modern Traditional work defined by bold linework, solid colour packing, and clear, graphic compositions that hold their strength for years. He began tattooing in 2015 and has since developed a studio practice built on constant drawing, painting flash, and a tight technical approach on skin. Over the years, he has worked in studios across Madrid, London, and Zurich, alongside some of the most renowned and internationally recognised tattoo artists.

Rooted in Madrid, with a background in graffiti and graphic design, Musta honed his eye for strong silhouettes, simplified shapes, and high contrast storytelling that define him as a Traditional tattoo artist. His Modern Traditional tattoos emphasise bold linework, solid colour application, and clean, readable, long-lasting results. Influences span 1980s and 1990s sci-fi, Industrial Revolution era imagery, and contemporary art, all filtered through a graffiti-influenced, highly illustrative and folk-inflected lens. The work appears as custom designs: masks and beasts, rockets and robots, snakes, flowers, symbols, and folklore, distilled to their most striking form. He continues to paint custom flash to evolve these ideas.

Musta now resides in Zurich at The Burning Eye Tattoo Studio, where he continues to refine classic language through a modern lens, with traditional foundations, modern execution, and a distinctly illustrative, folk, and funky personality.
