Steve Gagliano

Artist, Piercer & Owner · 24 years

My style merges illustrated artistry with realistic detail. Whether black & grey or full color, I chase precision, depth, and emotion in every piece — especially portraits. Decades across airbrush, painting, sculpture, and graphic art taught me to adapt to any vision a collector brings.

Less is always more. I chase the perfect detail — that singular, confident touch that says everything. My work is about precision and creating a welcoming, professional environment for every client.

Santiago

Artist · 8 years

I approach each tattoo as a custom work of art designed to fit the client's vision and body flow. Whether it's a portrait, an animal, a religious theme, or highly detailed realism, I bring a refined artistic eye and steady hand to every session — turning ideas into timeless, museum-quality tattoos.

Growing up watching my uncle build this studio from nothing, I always knew this was where I belonged. Now I get to learn the craft from him every day.
