Master Artist | Black & Grey Realism | Chicano Art

Damian’s journey into the world of tattooing began at the age of 14, fueled by a gift from his mother and an early spark of inspiration. After honing his craft through a formal apprenticeship at the legendary LA Tattoo in Hollywood, he has dedicated over two decades to perfecting his artistry.

With 21 years of experience under his belt, Damian has become a specialist in Black & Grey Realism and Lettering. He is particularly passionate about Chicano Art, a style that reflects his deep appreciation for the history and culture of the industry. His philosophy is simple and powerful: “You get what you put in”. For Damian, tattooing is a lifelong commitment—Tattoo Por Vida.

While he embraces the modern evolution and advancements of the craft, Damian remains a staunch protector of the industry’s roots. He values the “secret ways” and sacred traditions passed down by those who paved the road before him. When you sit in Damian’s chair, you aren’t just getting a tattoo; you are collaborating with a dedicated professional focused on leaving a positive, permanent mark on both the industry and your personal story
