Parse, known artistically as La Mano Santa (“The Holy Hand”), is a gifted Colombian tattoo artist who has left a distinctive mark on the world of body art. He specializes in fine lines, micro-realism, and vertically composed designs rich in symbolism—transforming every tattoo into a one-of-a-kind, deeply meaningful piece.

​

Born in Colombia, Parse maintains a strong connection to his homeland, which has served as a continuous source of inspiration throughout his career. His love for Latin roots is reflected in both his artistic style and the thoughtful sensitivity he brings to every project.

​

His creative journey has taken him through various disciplines, including music and sculpture, all of which have expanded his artistic perspective. It was in Spain that he discovered tattooing—a practice that quickly became his passion and the perfect medium to blend technical skill with emotional expression.

​

Parse’s artistic identity is also shaped by his fascination with pre-Columbian cultures and Hawaiian totems. These influences are evident in the aesthetic and symbolic language of his work, allowing him to craft a mystical, intricate, and spiritually grounded vision of tattoo art.

Now based in Los Angeles, California, Parse continues to refine his technique and create art with a deeply personal approach. Beyond his technical precision, he is known for his ability to connect with clients—interpreting their ideas, emotions, and intentions to craft tattoos that tell powerful stories and capture life’s most meaningful moments.
