Meet The Artist

Jose Carlos

Hello guys, I am José Carlos, from Havana, Cuba. I have been tattooing since year 2000.

BOOK
A heavily tattooed man in sunglasses, a red "PATRIA Y VIDA" tank top, and black shorts poses in a tattoo parlor.

Jose Carlos

Black & Grey Realism Specialist

I moved to Vegas in 2004 with a lot of passion to improve my career. Since then I’ve been tattooing mostly realistic work, specially portraits. Black and grey it’s my preference and I hope you guys like it.

WORK
A white background with a small, dark, circular icon of a stylized "M" in the bottom left corner.
