The studio emphasizes a collaborative, drama-free culture where artists support one another and prioritize the client experience. Jay Juarez, known for his black and grey and color realism, draws from a background that includes military service, boxing, culinary arts, barbering, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Wilfredo Soriano, a versatile artist skilled in fine line, anime, Japanese, and illustrative styles, channels inspiration from nature, film, video games, and travel. Both artists, along with other studio members, focus on creating tattoos that are deeply personal, technically precise, and visually striking.
