The best!

In November of this year Chops fixed a bad tatto that was over 20 years 0ld to how my mind truly pictured it. I do not have alot of ink so I am very particular on how it should be done. Chops is an artist with no equal as far as I am concerned. And he will be the only Tatto artist that will ever work on me again. He is also a very personable guy who will listen to your needs and will make sure you are doing good during the session. Simply put he is the Bomb!

Sayulita is damn lucky to have a master like Chops here!

Been living in Sayulita for 10 years now, a student of the needle. So stoked to have Chops bring his expertise and knowledge regarding all things tattoo - history, method, style, professionalism - to our little pueblo. He is the perfect fit for our town, amazing artist and family man. Thanks for the great work Chops, more to come.
