RIO | RESIDENT TATTOO ARTIST

Specializing in fine-line tattoos, Rio can apply a portrait on the foreground, then broaden it with beautifully detailed geometric shapes and spiral patterns that appear closely related to the art styles of Expressionism and Surrealism. Such as these two completely distinct portraits of seemingly female faces, creatively deepened with ornamental shapes and rectangular forms. For more designs by Rio like these, explore his work: @riogerzz.
Jacquelyn Maroney, who goes by the name of Jakki, is another fine-line tattoo artist whose style ranges between shadows and subtle details of practically any design, resulting in portraits that are dainty and witty altogether. Discover more of Jakki’s captivating tattoo work on her Instagram page: @jakkichantattoos.

TurKo | Resident Tattoo Artist

Tattoos by Turko include large sleeve projects, fine-line, blackwork, collage work, and custom designs. Each of Turko’s designs displays lifelike portrayals that flash a decorative appeal. Thus all tattoos are blatantly hard to ignore because of the black and white shadow effect he creates to instill this “in-your-face” style.
