Good to know before you book
- Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.
- Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

Hector took me as a walk in right away. He was knowledgeable about his craft & saw my vision right away. I appreciated his expertise and guidance with what would look good & last for the design I had in mind. He was able to recreate my thoughts and turned it into a new tattoo that is/was much better than what I wanted. He was gentle and the discomfort was minimal. This tattoo is in honor of my late father who passed away last year on this date. Price was also fair. I will definitely return.
Came from Nola for the weekend and decided to book an appointment with Diego for Tattoo on my back. I have to say that He has been the best tattoo artist I’ve been to. He was great, very friendly. He did just what I wanted. Very patient and He makes sure you are satisfied with his work. Reasonable price, very clean. No Bs He gets to work immediately don’t waste time like many Artist I’ve known. . Definitely looking forward to come back again, and definitely recommend him. Thanks again Diego…
OK, so first of all I want to say hands-down Diego is everything and he knows this because I spoke to him and told him that he definitely got me in at a good timely manner and got me out and considered my time as well and the things that I had to do during our session, he’s very sweet. He’s nice and he’s very approachable and I have to say This will not be my last session with Diego. I will definitely be a regular customer with him. He understood the assignment and he went above and beyond to make sure that what I wanted was. Everything And beautiful, he is a magnificent artist and he should be appreciated as such we appreciate all the work that you do Diego and just know that you have a regular customer in me.
