Black & gray realism, color realism, sleeves, and custom large-scale work — designed around your references, placement, anatomy, and long-term vision.
The style may change from project to project, but the standard does not. Every piece starts with composition, placement, technical execution, and how the tattoo will continue to read as it heals and ages.
Detailed black and gray work built around contrast, tonal transitions, structure, and dimension. From portrait-driven concepts to architectural, symbolic, wildlife, and larger narrative compositions.
Vibrant color work developed around skin tone, contrast, pigment saturation, placement, composition, and longevity. The goal is not simply bright color — it is color that remains readable and intentional as the tattoo ages.
You bring the idea, references, placement, and the direction you want the project to take. Luis develops the piece around your body, available space, proportions, and the visual story you want the tattoo to carry.
