Steelworks

They say experience counts for something. Steelworks was among the first piercing studios to open in Barcelona. 'It was 1996 and the Barri Gòtic wasn't what it is now, and it wasn't the norm to come across so many people with tattoos and piercings,' says Marta, shop owner and visionary. In 2007 she added tattooing to her business, and now she also has Santi Cuevas in her shop, an artist who specialises in geometry and dotwork. The pair became a trio with Gonzalo M M, who brings to the shop a traditional American style.
