Melesio Gonzalez
Fine Line & Custom Concepts · Both Shops
Fine line is where Melesio is most at home — clean, deliberate work that has to hold up close. Most pieces start as somebody's half-formed idea and get worked out across the table before a needle touches skin.

About Melesio
What's up everyone, I'm Melesio Gonzalez. You'll find me bringing custom concepts to life at Tough It Out Tattoo, working out of both the Waukegan and Carpentersville shops. Fine line is where I'm most at home — clean, deliberate work where the detail has to hold up close. Most of what I do starts as somebody's half-formed idea, and the best part of the job is the part where we sit down and turn it into something that actually fits you.
Bring a reference, bring a rough sketch, or bring nothing but the concept. We'll work it out.
