“Diego is the best! He’s been working on my leg sleeve and honestly I couldn’t ask for a better artist. He was the only one willing to take on this project with me because of the complexity of my skin, and he’s been crushing it. We’re about two-thirds done now and the detail is insane. Diego takes his time, makes sure everything is perfect, and cares about how the tattoo will look years from now. If you’re thinking about getting tattooed, I 100% recommend going to Diego.”

“Diego is an amazing artist! More specifically in lettering, I went back in March to get my last name tattooed and I love it till this day! He even fixed a previous heart tattoo I have on my arm. From the moment I walked in I knew it was going to be a great experience, such a nice and gentle person, he walked me through a few steps like if it was my first time and I really appreciated it especially considering tattoos are permanent, you want the best tattoo possible. Highly recommend booking with Diego!!”
