Blood Stone Tattoo

Ricardo is a master of his craft! Besides his obvious artistic talent, I liked how precise he was when choosing the placement of my tattoo. He wasn’t afraid to clean my arm and reapply the stencil a couple times to get the placement perfect, which goes to show that he cares. Awesome guy, awesome art, comfortable setting. All around good vibes!

Ricardo Vega at Blood Stone Tattoo did an incredible black and grey photorealism piece of Nemty, the falcon-headed ferryman god of ancient Egypt. This tattoo is a deeply personal tribute to a powerful deity, and Ricardo captured every detail with stunning precision and respect. His artistry, professionalism, and understanding of the symbolism made this an amazing work of art. Highly recommend!

Very professional and personable artist. Ricardo will be my first call when I am ready for my next tattoo. He took the time to understand what I wanted, asked questions to make sure he understood and showed several mock ups along the way. This took several sessions and Ricardo checked in several times each session to ensure I was able to keep going. Also gave us both breaks. His line work and understanding of using color for coverups is immaculate. He also had a light hand even during shading which after a few hours in a session, really makes a difference.
