Hey everyone,
I recently moved to Lisbon from Brazil and I’m trying to get to know more of the city’s underground/artsy scene.
I’m really into some blackwork art, medieval aesthetics, rock/metal/emo, engraving/woodcut visuals, alternative bars and creative spaces

So far I’ve been really enjoying the vibe around places like Intendente and some of the smaller hidden bars in the center.
Would love some recommendations where artists usually hang out.

Still exploring the city and hoping to meet people with similar interests :)

I’m a Brazilian tattoo artist currently spending some time in Europe and I’ve been noticing a big difference in aesthetics compared to back home.
In Brazil, a lot of people still lean towards realism, fine line or more commercial styles, but here I keep seeing more:
heavy blackwork
medieval references
engraving textures
cyber sigils
brutal/dark aesthetics
I’m curious how people in the UK see this shift.
Do you feel darker/alternative tattoo styles are becoming more popular there lately?
Or is it still something more niche/underground?
Also trying to understand which cities/spaces have stronger scenes for this kind of work.
Eventually I’d love to do a guest spot somewhere in the UK, so any recommendations for studios, events or communities are welcome.
