The right hands for the piece.
Instead of making every project fit the same look, we connect the idea with the artist and the shop that make the most sense for the piece.
Julio Gomez
18+ Years Experience · Chicago Born & Raised
Founder. Started in lettering, made his name in transformative cover-ups, and counts portraits as his favourite work today. Both shops.
Elias Dicante
Black & Grey · Realism · New School · New Traditional
Photorealism that looks like it could step off the skin, plus bold new school and neo-traditional colour. Both shops.
Melesio Gonzalez
Fine Line & Custom Concepts · Both Shops
Fine line and custom concepts — clean, deliberate work that has to hold up close. Both shops.
Dekfo
Custom Pieces · Drawn Up For You
Tell him the idea, he draws it up and nails it — that is the story in review after review. Bio and portfolio coming soon.
Spyder
Tattoo Artist
Eight years tattooing in Chicago. Black and grey, Chicano art, and every style in between.
Don't. Tell us the idea through the form and we'll match it to whoever does that style best — that's the whole point of a two-shop, multi-artist crew. If you want to talk something through first, ask for Julio by name; he'd rather have the conversation than have you guess.
Tell us the idea.
We'll do it justice.
You don't need every detail figured out. A strong idea, a few references and an open conversation are enough to get going.
