Tattoo Artist: Carlos Torres
Carlos Torres is a thirty something year old artist that specializes in realistic black and grey tattoo work. He’s part owner of a shop located in San Pedro, California and lives and breathes art. When he’s not in the shop tattooing, he’s home painting.
He’s a natural talent that didn’t receive a formal art education and didn’t go through a traditional tattoo apprenticeship.
He stays away from tribal tattoos designs, traditional, and new school designs. As anyone can see, his strengths are with realistic black and gray and that is an enviable niche to be proficient at. Realism is probably the most difficult tattoo style to master.
He started out his career as a scratcher but recommends taking a conventional route and seek an apprenticeship with a reputable shop.
He’s affiliated with Timeline Gallery located in San Pedro, CA but I’m not exactly sure from where the man tattoos! He’s a very unassuming artist.
