Erik, owner and tattoo artist, in deep concentration while tattooing at Hollywood Stars Tattoo.

owner/artist

Erik is the owner of Hollywood Stars Tattoo. He believes in always giving your best every level you reach.  Never compromise quality for your budget. Erik loves tattooing even after 30 plus years of doing it. 

 

My experience has taught me to be patient when working with everyone. I enjoy learning from clients and the journeys they've been through. I alway put in the proper amount of time and effort into every tattoo I do. I do not rush through the tattoo and I use all the proper tools along with all the right needles to get the job done correctly. I never cut corners.

 

 I love to read about self improvement to build my mind, body and soul as well as my business; so that I can better improve my relationships with my family, friends, myself, and our clients. I get excited when I learn and grow as an artist, a business, and a human being. The first seven years of opening the shop I didnt know much about running a business. After all these years starting back in 2004 Its one obsticle after another and never backing down.  I challenge myself  by going to tattoo seminar as well as art workshops; so my tattoos and artwork can improve year after year. I have lots of friends and mentors in this industry that I can go to for guidance if needed to help grow in my craft. I stay updated on the latest trend and fads. I can help you get the most out of your tattoo experience. 

 

What I believe to be great artist attributes and value; I encourage in all who work here. It is not just about the tattoos we do. It is also, and just as importantly, it’s about the experience we share with each and every guest that comes through the door. 

 

We are here to help clear your head of any doubts and give you peace of mind. We are highly motivated and eager to give you only the best you can possibly get. 

 

You Think It, We Ink It!

I am a resident artist at Hollywood Stars Tattoo. I've had an extensive tattoo apprenticeship under Erik Gutierrez and have 15 years of tattoo experience. I especially enjoy tattooing abstract/free flowing tattoos and trash-polka tattoos. I also am well versed in tattoo concept design. I feel each tattoo is an extension of not only myself but my client as well, I look forward to working and growing with each client that I have the opportunity and pleasure to meet.
