INFO

Amador Z (b. 1994, Lima) is a visual artist, photographer, and tattoo artist based in Cusco, Peru. His practice explores identity and memory, focusing on how personal and cultural histories are carried through images, gestures, and tattoo.

Alongside his visual work, he creates custom tattoo from his tattoo shop in Cusco, Casa Siete. As a tattoo artist, he approaches tattooing as a careful, collaborative process through which ideas and personal narratives become part of the body in a lasting way.
