From Bahia Blanca, Argentina, Tubaro came to tattooing from a fine-arts background, having studied art including engraving in Buenos Aires, training often connected to the graphic, high-contrast character of his line and fill. He began tattooing in the mid-1990s, with sources giving either 1994 or 1996, and has operated his own appointment-based private studio in Buenos Aires since 2009. He works mainly in solid black with fine dotwork for movement and gradation, spanning ornamental, geometric, tribal, and floral motifs, and he came up in the orbit of Cacho Villafanes, a foundational figure of professional Argentine tattooing. He is sometimes grouped with Roxx, Xed LeHead, Tomas Tomas, and Thomas Hooper, but that grouping is not a documented formal cohort.
