Jose Lopez

Jose Lopez has been instrumental in popularizing black and grey realism, particularly within the Chicano tattooing tradition, which often emphasizes fine-line work and detailed shading. His work often focuses on highly detailed, realistic depictions of religious figures, portraits, and intricate symbols from Chicano culture.    His reputation as a tattoo artist quickly began to spread. He became so busy that he just didn't have time to think about his new physical challenges.    The demand for Jose's work was so great that he moved to the next level and opened his own tattoo shop called Lowrider Tattoo, which has become a hub for black and grey tattooing. The shop has won countless awards at tattoo conventions and now employs four other talented artists.
