Shades of Gray Dermagraphics

I went to see Arnoldo on 9/2/24 & it was my first tattoo. I was so scared & nervous. I almost didn’t make it through the entire session b/c I am sensitive to pain. Arnoldo was professional, chill, and has positive energy. His shop is clean and lit, which I really like. Has examples up and really tries to pinpoint what you want. I’m glad I hung in there. It’s a beautiful purple rose that resembles my family and our loved ones who have passed away. Thank you so much!! Great work!!

A family member who got after surgery medical tattooing done by Arnoldo referred me to him. I needed a name in black ink covered that was sitting below a tribal tattoo located above my breast. I emailed Arnoldo to set up the consultation. He got me in his studio within a few days. I told Arnoldo I wanted watercolor and then I let him come up with how he wanted to approach the cover-up. We met again a few days later to get the job done. He not only made the name unnoticeable, he also brought out the tribal tattoo above it and made it into a spectacular masterpiece of perfection. He gave me detailed instructions on how to care for it so it would heal with no scabbing. Prior to meeting Arnoldo I had tattoos done by 3 other artists who do clean work. Arnoldo takes clean work way beyond the norm and has you leaving with a badass tattoo from a very kind, professional, talented and cool guy.

Arnaldo is amazing. I got my first tattoo from him in 1998. My wife is impressed as it looks just as good and sharp today as it did when I got it. If you are looking for an artist don't go anywhere else. This IS the place. He created the art that was in my head perfectly.

Arnoldo is, hands down, THE BEST in the business. He is covering up an old tattoo I got years back that I thought impossible to fix. So far, he has basically given me a whole new tattoo and I am blown away. I will never trust my ink work with anyone other than Arnoldo. This man is truly a genius when it comes to the ebb and flow of a tattoo. It’s not just art, it’s a masterpiece. Mindi

I spent a great deal of time searching for an artist to do a coverup and complete a sleeve. After reaching out to several artists I partnered with Arnoldo and couldn't be happier. The shop was very clean, quiet and organized. The atmosphere was welcoming. The equipment was modern and extremely quiet. Arnoldo was cheerful, respectful, and enjoyable to chat with. The tattoo was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. I wanted Arnoldo to have complete creative freedom and his creativity did not disappoint. The linework was immaculate and precise. The shading is deep and nuanced. This was the first session of many more to come and I look forward to seeing all the wonderful art Arnoldo creates.
