When I went to the Tattoo Convention some months back, I felt myself drawn to some of the artists whose work really captured me, and it occured to me later that a good number of these were Latino. I have always dearly loved the work of Nikko Hurtado, and would LOVE to have work done by him at some point in my life, but I believe that there is a really strong and healthy leaning in the overall tattoo culture of greatness by serious artists who are Latino or Latina. And I love it. So I’m asking you to send me names of your favorite artists (clearly of any nationality – just working on a Latino bend for a new article) so I can check them out, give you props and maybe get a little electronic buzz going for them.
In the meantime, if you haven’t seen much of Chuey’s work, I beg you to take the time to click the below gallery and get your fill!!!
