I am a tattoo apprentice in Los Angeles, formerly at The Warren. I am licensed and started tattooing clients in March 2025. The Warren has now closed down, so I am looking for a new studio where I can work and learn!
I earned a BFA in Illustration from Maryland Institute College of Art and have experience as a professional freelance illustrator. I wanted to become a tattoo artist because I am interested in body modification as a form of art and self expression, and because I enjoy working with people.
If you think I’d be a good fit for your studio, please reach out to me at SolValdezArt@gmail.com, or call/text me at (913)626-1953.
✷ TATTOOS ✷
In March 2025 I received my license and started accepting clients for linework/blackwork tattoos.
