Meet Chencho

When Chencho isn’t building machines, he’s immersed in the things that inspire his craft; collecting rare books, painting flash, traveling across the States, and spending time with his two beloved Bulldogs. He approaches life the same way he approaches tattooing: with curiosity, passion, and a deep appreciation for art and tradition. Every experience becomes part of his creative process, constantly shaping the stories he brings to skin.

    “I got my first tattoo here. It's a very clean and professional environment and they have thousands of flash designs to look through. Chencho communicated with me through the entire process and gave clear aftercare instructions. The tattoo itself is absolutely gorgeous, I get compliments on it all day. The line work is flawless, the colors are so vibrant I get asked if it's fake. I love everything about my tattoo.”

    They gave me a very fair price for such a high quality piece. After seeing the end result, I would've been more than happy to pay double what I did.

    Cheers to all the amazing artists at 45th Street Tattoo. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I look forward to returning soon!

    “My family of 3 came to get tattoos done. 2 of us, it was our first time. We had Chencho and Zak. They took wonderful care of us for our first time. Chencho did a retouch for the last one of us. All of the tattoos turned out amazing and the customer service was wonderful. I highly recommend this place, especially for your first time!”
