3rd of March 1978, Miguel Angel Teijido Parra is born in Santiago de Chile
Schooled in Colegio Don Bosco, Miguel, as a rebellion against the conservativeness of the school, had his first tattoo aged 15. The following year, he started his aprentiship as a tattoo artist with “Justiciero” surrounded by his motorcycling crowd.
Miguel, at the age of 18, opened his first own tattoo studio “Mad House”, in Quilpue, which attracted many caracters of the metal scene of central Chile.
Determined to tattoo mainly custom work, he studied Graphic Design at the University DuocUC in Valparaiso and obtained his degree with distinction in 2002.
Miguel travelled to the States for the first time in 2001 and, not wanting to leave, went to work at Ink Addiction inc. in Fort Lauderdale where he met Steve Moon, a great color tattoo artist, as well as Larry Flynt Jr. whom he tattooed and the Studio Enigma team from New York. This year was a big step in Miguel’s knowledge of other styles of tattooing such as American old school and pinups, and enabled him to work his color skills with American inks.
As well as working in the studio, Miguel visited his first international tattooing conventions in New York and Massachusetts where he saw the works of Borneo Head Hunter, Hiro Hoshi II, The Leu´s Family, Tin-Tin and many more.
After this experience, he decided to bring his discoveries back to his homeland and create an original concept with his body modificating partner, Nicolas “Maracaibo”. “Primitive” was a huge success. With its unique rooted style and atmosphere, it attracted locals who aspired something new as well as travellers looking for a professional studio with authentic designs.
In 2003, Miguel travelled to Europe for the first time. He chose to work in Hamburg as a guest artist in “Flamed Heart” as it had caught his curiousity for its machine inventions by the owner Albert Cornelissen Jr, son of Albert Cornelissen, an ancestor in the world of tattooing.
Miguel returned to Chile with yet more foreign knowledge and continued running “Primitive” until 2006.
However, the itch of travels was too much and Miguel was yet again off, this time to the Canary Islands where he worked with Renato Tattoos, a return to an old friendship and another virgin territory for him. Being back in Europe was the opportunity to visit the 2nd International London Tattoo Convention in 2006, which was an eye opener to Eastern style tattooing as well as Eastern Europe artists.
After one year of island life, Miguel decided to move to Barcelona, a City he had always wanted to live in, attracted by the buzz of art and culture in general. He worked from his home studio for 2 years but found he missed working and learning with other artists. Miguel therefore decided to move to London to join a studio that enabled him to work on many different styles with a variety of talented artists.
