Master Tattoo Artist

15 Years Experience

Master Tattoo Artist at GameFace Tattoos

The name is Edward Madera, and I am a seasoned tattoo artist originally from Puerto Rico, now based in Orlando. My career began with an apprenticeship under the renowned Chino Torres at Boricua Tattoos, where I developed a strong foundation in the craft. Over the past 18 years, I have refined my skills across a diverse range of styles, with a particular expertise in lettering, which remains my signature specialty.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working alongside highly skilled artists, many of whom have become trusted colleagues and lifelong friends. My passion lies in creating custom, meaningful designs that reflect each client's unique story—artwork they will proudly wear for a lifetime. I am committed to precision, creativity, and delivering an exceptional experience for every client I work with.
