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.
  • Larger Japanese pieces are usually booked across multiple sittings — plan for at least two visits.
  • 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.

Dan Lopez does some AMAZING work… have had him do 3 pieces on me so far and looking forward to more!! He listens to what you are wanting and can give some recommendations of what you are wanting may warrant a little modification ..but will give a fair price and I would HIGHLY recommend him for you first or next piece!!

I recently got tattooed by Dan Lopez. Awesome dude!! Respectful and kind. Communication skills and professionalism were on point. The tattoo is doing great and have had so many great compliments. I can't thank you enough for all that you have done.
