AMAURY RAMIREZ was born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Always passionate in every aspect of art, Amaury started to pursuit his passion after High School as a Graphic Designer. Going from Editorial Design (Newspaper, Magazine, Books & more) to designing for Advertising Agencies, this always kept his passion for drawing alive but tattooing was his true calling.
My name is Joo Paulo, I have been known as the Minero tattooist for 14 years, I am passionate about tattoo art, in 2010 I left Brazil to study the neo-traditional style in which I specialize. I have had the opportunity to visit 12 countries in different parts of the world where I worked in many tattoo studios in Brazil, Europe and the United States.
Tattoos can seem great at the time, and the thought of it being permanent may never cross your mind, but things change and so do preferences for what is visible on your skin. If the time has come where you regret a tattoo and would like it covered, the process can be tricky but experts like artist Amaury Ramirez at Bad Habits Tattoos in Fort Lauderdale will give your skin a brand-new look.
While color can make a splash visually in a tattoo, there is something simplistic about a solid black piece. Elegant, powerful and bold, the blackwork tattoo is a serious undertaking. You may have never witnessed a piece in person because other forms are more popular, but they are unmistakable.
The intense pain involved in the time-consuming process weeds out anyone not committed to having a striking black piece of art forever imprinted on their body.With no other color and simple geometric shapes characterizing this style of tattoo, the defining feature is the sheer volume of black ink. This style is not for the faint of heart because it requires much more time under the needle.

Tattoos come in many styles, but the beauty and detail of the realism tattoos are second to none. Top-notch realism pieces will leave viewers questioning if it's real and how a tattoo could look that good. Resembling fine art, this style can take everyday objects, people, and places and capture them perfectly.

Not your average tattoo shop! One of the most professional shops I’ve ever had the privilege of getting work done. Been coming for almost a year and beyond satisfied with all the work I’ve had done. Amaury is EXTREMELY talented (especially with coverup’s), Courtnie is always happy and goes the extra mile to make sure you’re always comfortable. James is also top notch and extremely talented as well. Trust me when I say, you will not be disappointed with anything at Bad Habits Tattoos & Laser Tattoo Removal!!!

I love Bad Habits. The customer service is unbeatable. Everyone is super friendly and professional.
Liz does an amazing job with the laser tattoo removal. Not only does she do an amazing job, but she genuinely cares about her clients.
Courtnie at the front desk is super friendly as well.
5 stars. Would recommend to everyone.

Way too overpriced for work less impressive than most apprentice work I've seen for a fraction of the price. Jorge worked very heavy handed causing my whole tattoo to scar and get infected. Most of the line work faded or completely disappeared within two weeks showing how inconsistent the work truly was. This was after putting down a 150 dollar deposit that I couldn't get back should I have decided to cancel, and being charged 150 an hour. Don't go here if you're looking for quality.

After 2 years and a long Tatto journey I realized that these people not only lied too me multiple times, and gave me poor work the money that your spending here you can go elsewhere and get yourself some quality, don't let yourself get ripped off I would say spend more money and go to some real artist but you would probably save yourself money with there rates sheeesshhh

Accommodated my party of 3 along with another girl group last minute right before closing instead of turning us away like 2 other shops did.. Our artist was James.. Loved his quiet sarcasm. He was funny... Loved how quick but efficient he was..The front desk chica was soo nice and very accommodating as well. Only issue was more on us than them.. As this was my 20th+ tattoo, I assumed because we were out of towners- they were going to tax us for the small tat. But $100 for this tiny butterfly was NOT what I was expecting👀◠But can't fault them when I assumed the price instead of asking...ðŸ

Just finished my second session with Jorge, both experiences were 5 star. Jorge is patient and a talented artist who does incredible work, he's also very accommodating to work with as far as availability. The shop is clean, professional, comfortable and the staff is attentive and professional at all times. Parking is easy.

So. Very hesitant doing a walk in tattoo at a shop but overall really great experience. Bilingual in multiple languages English, Portuguese, Spanish and very easy to talk toooo. Jorge did my tattoo and my boyfriend got his tattoo done Joa. I got a shark and Jorge is amazing at lime work and tribal work. Joa is currently killing the crocodile that my boyfriend is getting. The woman at the front desk was so helpful and kind and patient with getting us signed in and we were given waters. This is clearly a very professional business and everything is done with cleanliness and care.

Found this shop after looking on line for a tattoo artist. The owner, Amaury, he's a straight up talented artist with a background in graphic art/design. More over, and what is often over looked, he's very meticulous, thorough and the shop is clean and inviting. Amaury's attention to detail is great and he doesn't physically rough you up; it's been 6 days and my piece has virtually no scabbing. This is one of Broward Countys best tattoo shops!

I am so incredibly happy to have come to Bad Habits for my tattoo. From start to finish the whole experience was easy and painless. I came to Antz with my budget and idea and he created a design that really surpassed my expectations.
When I got to the shop I was really impressed by how clean and well kept it was and everyone seemed genuine and happy to be there. I got to see the design and was floored by how gorgeous it turned out. Antz is incredibly talented and walks you through the process step by step which is still helpful to a tattoo novice like me.

Called one random day with a friend just to swing by and get a quote.. and the OWNER answered,.. and when I arrived, the Owner Amaury was the one that greeted us too. He's BILINGUAL (+ in my book!) and not only that, but he is a very personable, and professional artist who cares about what his clients are getting and making sure they're satisfied. I did speak with him to go get tatt'd myself.. and will not hesitate to trust him with my skin. We ended up hanging out there for like an hour, and were walked around the shop to see the art from the artists and other pieces that they have

Where do I start? ($100 deposit but they subtract it from the total price of your tattoo). I saw a guy with a huge Polynesian tattoo and he gave me bad habit's card. I followed the shop's page, and the tattoo artist Juliano on Instagram. So we finally went in. The front desk lady Ana is suuuuper cool. Juliano is so nice and friendly. He's like a celebrity to me so I was geeking out. He was so sweet. The lettering he did on my arm was perfection. He talked to us, laughed with us, told us stories and was just cool. He made little suggestions to us about our tattoos and we really liked

This place is amazing! Super clean store. Everyone there is friendly. I found Emily on instgram, and knew that I wanted her to do my first tattoo. I met with Emily and she was very helpful with location and size. I gave her some ideas of what I wanted and she nailed it! Her attention to detail is unreal! I'm in love with it! Thanks again Emily for the most amazing work! I will be back!!!!!

Awesome place, awesome staff, clean, well lit, even clean and nicely scented lobby and bathroom! Decor is brightly colored which to me is a very nice contrast to the dark and gothic like shops that are typical (after all not everyone that gets tatted is a metal head who wants a large skull tat lol)From the moment I called, Tony was very courteous over the phone and tried to work with me for a same day tattoo. They were able to accommodate and take me same day and I got my tat with Juliano. I initially wanted a female because my female experience has been way better than with male but..Juliano changed
