My story

I'm Sebastio Daza — a Bolivian artist, traveler, and lifelong seeker of creative freedom.
I started my journey on stage, acting for years in theater. Later, I studied culinary arts and even taught cooking on Bolivia’s national television. Creativity has always been my compass — whether through performance, food, or now, tattoos.

Eventually, I felt stuck in the routine of a small town. I needed change. So I sold my car, packed a bag with my partner, and we set off on the adventure of a lifetime. We backpacked through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia. In Hua Hin, Thailand, I took an intense tattoo course that awakened a new artistic passion in me.

We returned to Bolivia, feeling transformed but out of place. Then came Ireland — two years of learning English, discovering breathtaking places like the Cliffs of Moher and the Ring of Kerry, and building a life filled with culture, music, and community.

Then life turned again. The pandemic brought us back home, where I spent six precious months with my mother before she passed away. Her loss was devastating, and I spiraled into depression and weight gain. Brazil came next — a difficult chapter — until we decided to start over once more, this time in the U.S.

Now, I’ve found a true home at Roadside Tattoo, where I offer my best self and my most honest work. I no longer create for likes, trends, or validation. I create from the heart, fueled by my experiences — the joyful, the painful, and everything in between.

This space is my creative sanctuary. A place to reconnect with my inner child.
Here, I share tattoos that mean something — to me and to those who wear them.

I’m not here to be what the algorithm wants. I’m here to be real.

If that resonates with you — welcome.
