Esteban Barriga Jarquín was born in Oaxaca de Juárez, Oaxaca. At the age of 12, he began doing graffiti, and by 15, was working as a printer and painting assistant at the workshop Okupa Visual Project, led by the painter Guillermo Pacheco, where he worked for three years while simultaneously completing his high school studies at CEDART Miguel Cabrera. At 23, he started as a tattoo apprentice at Tinta Sangre in downtown Oaxaca, a studio founded about 30 years ago by Rostro Maligno and Doctor Lakra. During the 2020 pandemic, he began collaborating with the LMP crew, where he currently works full time, keeping alive both the analog screen–printing workshop and the private tattoo studio, LMP Tattoo Club.
