INSPIRATION

Cristina wanted to pay tribute to her Grandmother, Celina. An influential figure in her life.  Be sure to stay tuned for her Grandfather's portrait to be added in the coming weeks.

 Roses and the rosary on my client Robert. Project in the works,  stay tuned.

Fellow tattoo artist and friend, Klown Saravia came by to get his son's name Kobe Ryan . It was a pleasure tattooing Klown, who's work I find an inspiration.  His tattoo style can be described as smooth and realistic, done with finesse. He showcases with Lowrider Tattoo and is a part of the lowrider team.  Currently working out of his own shop in Carson, Lifestyle Tattoo and guest spots at the Fountain Valley shop.

The homie Chris rolled through to get the ever popular Al Pachanka Jesus.

In her pursuit of healing, my client, Jamie came in to get this portrait of her beloved dog, Awkie who passed away unexpectedly.

Representing that LBC, Esteban makes it known where he's from.

 

The Face of Lowrider Tattoo. Jose Lopez has been an inspiration to me since I first met him . Not only is he my boss but my mentor and friend. He never ceases to amaze me by the amount of detail and work that he puts into each and every one of his tattoo pieces. Always humble and welcoming, I owe a lot to this man who's taught me so much in this world of tattoo art.  His style of tattooing is what I strive to accomplish everyday.

Hasta La Victoria Siempre. The Man.

My long time neighborhood friend, Eric Dejaro started this signature Og Abel piece. More to come soon.

My good friend Kamren from the rock band Cease Fire came in to get this hand piece.  They will be playing February 21st 2013 at the House Of Blues in Anaheim, Ca.

 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 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.
