Boris Martínez
Tattoo artist · Black & Grey
I'm Boris Martínez. My story as a Tattoo Artist begins with a move to Los Angeles — no plan, only the pursuit of a dream. There I came upon Kustom Kulture Tattoo Studio, a shop of experienced and open-handed artists.
I reached LA as an artist in search of an opening. What I found was family, mentors, and a way forward — a debt I carry with gratitude, by sharing my art and my passion, now my profession, with the whole world.
