JOHNNY'S TATTOOS



A big thanks to A to Z Print Shop in Riverside California for doing a great job on these cards.



Aztec girl arm piece - Last Session - Gerry Ramirez




 Fellow tattoo artist, Gustavo Lopez of Lowrider Tattoo Studios. 
Just one of my memories in Southern California growing up seeing young California boys sportin' their last names, clicks, pride, and neighborhoods on their backs. Some things never change in Cali.



My good friend Rick came in to get this memorial tattoo of his daughter . R.I.P Ava.

" Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it". - Hardy D.Jackson


Danny Boy hard at work.


Lil B waiting to get some more ink by artist Miguel Ochoa.




My client Mae came in to get this Portrait of her boyfriend Rey, which was taken in his elementary school years. The day of school pictures, Rey's mom had told him not to wear the mickey mouse sweater he so wanted to wear but instead had chose for him a nice dress shirt. Picture time comes and Rey decides otherwise. He happily puts the sweater on and the picture is taken. Now a lasting memory.

My longtime friend Louie came in to get his newly born son's name, Niko. Done in custom script. 

 

The infamous OG ABEL money rose done on my client Lisa.


Enjoyed tattooing my California logo along with some custom script on David's back.  Thanks for the love and support.



Joel finished his last session on this Jesus Helguera art Aztec Piece. Helguera paintings are a big influence here at Lowrider Tattoo Studios. Had fun doing this piece.


"Strive" - to devote serious effort or energy...... A recent graduate of Barber school, my friend Bubba requested for a barber themed piece. More to come on his arm.


My client Jessica wanting to pay tribute to her Grandma who was an influential and big part of her life. Remembering her always with this portrait.
