The Story Behind the Tattoo
This admiration led him to tattoo the actor’s face on his arm, deliberately leaving space for a possible signature. This gesture symbolized his desire and confidence that one day he would meet his idol.
That is exactly what I experienced. Ten years ago, I got a tattoo of my favorite actor, Will Smith. But it wasn’t just a tattoo—it was a message to the universe. I left a blank space underneath, with unwavering faith that one day, he himself would sign it. No guarantees, no connections, no certainties. Just the conviction that it would happen.
This journey wasn’t easy. Over the years, I often wondered if it would ever happen. But I never stopped believing. Because when you truly believe in something and keep working towards it, life finds a way to put it in your path.
And that’s exactly what happened. One day, after a decade, the moment arrived. Not only did I meet Will Smith, but his reaction was so genuine, so noble, that it confirmed everything I had always believed about him. He didn’t just sign my tattoo—he shared the entire moment on his social media, proving that greatness is also measured by humility and generosity.
As Will Smith said in The Pursuit of Happyness:
"Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something. Not even me. If you have a dream, you gotta protect it. If people can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period."
It’s not magic—it’s energy, determination, and attitude. Believing in a dream doesn’t mean sitting back and waiting for it to happen; it means working every single day as if it were inevitable.
Sometimes it takes years, but when you are clear about what you want and don’t allow doubt to hold you back, life moves the necessary pieces for that moment to arrive.
For ten years, Matías Noble continued growing as a tattoo artist, perfecting his craft, traveling, and creating a worldwide academy to teach people how to tattoo. He established over 10 studios globally and remains eager to open many more. He didn’t know how or when it would happen, but his conviction never wavered. And at the most unexpected moment, the opportunity appeared.
When he finally met Will Smith and showed him the tattoo, the actor’s reaction was so genuine and emotional that it confirmed everything Matías had always imagined about him. Smith not only signed the tattoo but also shared the moment on his own social media, once again proving his authenticity and humility.
No matter what the goal is, three principles appear in every success story:
Everything starts with a strong and well-defined desire. It’s not enough to vaguely want something—you need to visualize it in detail and truly believe it’s possible.
Great dreams don’t come true overnight. They require time, effort, and consistency, but every step you take brings you closer to your goal.
Even when there are no guarantees, the most important thing is to keep moving forward. Opportunities arise when you continue advancing without losing faith.
This tattoo signed by Will Smith is more than just an autograph on the skin—it’s proof that when you firmly believe in something and work for it, life takes care of the rest.
This story proves that success isn’t about luck—it’s about mindset, effort, and faith. What seems impossible today may be your reality tomorrow.
