Camilo Osorio Timote (born in 1997 in Ibagué, Colombia) is an internationally acclaimed Colombian tattoo artist, celebrated for his refined mastery in neotraditional, neo-oriental, and full-color tattoo styles. With over ten years of professional experience—beginning his career in 2015—he has built a solid and respected reputation in the industry, combining technical excellence with a distinctive visual language rooted in composition, symbolism, and advanced color theory. He is currently based in Bogotá, where he works at his own studio, Bright Tattoo Parlour.

Camilo has established himself as one of the leading exponents and key figures of neotraditional tattooing in Colombia. His compositions stand out for their anatomical drawing, graphic representation of fauna and flora, creation of original characters, and the use of high-contrast colors, resulting in a signature style that is widely recognized both nationally and internationally.

Throughout his career, he has actively participated in some of the most prestigious tattoo conventions across Latin America and Europe. His work has consistently earned recognition from juries and peers, winning multiple first-place awards in international competitions. In 2025 alone, he earned six distinctions at the Tattoo Show in Buenos Aires, Argentina—including Best of Show, Best of Friday, Best Back Tattoo, and Best of Sunday—alongside a first-place award in the Neotraditional category at the World of Ink convention in Poznań, Poland. In previous years, his work was also awarded at major events such as the Milano Tattoo Convention in Italy and the Barcelona Tattoo Expo in Spain, achieving second and third places in categories like Best Full Color, Best Healed Tattoo, and Best of Day. He has also been recognized in Belgium and Mexico, and was selected as the “Image of the Event” at Quito Tattoo Fest (2022), Expo Tattoo Cancún (2024), and Santander Expo Tattoo in Colombia (2022).

Beyond his achievements as an artist, Camilo is a respected figure in the international tattoo community for his contributions to education and professional development. He has served as a jury member at 25 national and international tattoo conventions, evaluating the work of fellow artists with objectivity and artistic rigor. In addition, he has conducted 10 specialized seminars in Colombia and abroad, sharing his techniques, design approach, and ethical practices with both emerging and established tattooers.

He is sponsored by renowned brands such as Radiant Colors, Hi Tattoo, MANTRA, and Tattoo Vision, further supporting the quality and projection of his work.

Camilo’s career reflects a deep commitment not only to creative excellence but also to the professionalization and cultural recognition of tattooing as a contemporary art form. His international trajectory, consistent awards, and dedication as a mentor have established him as one of the most prominent Colombian tattoo artists. Soon, he will appear as a guest artist at West Side Tattoo (@westsidetattoo719), further expanding his active presence in the international scene.
