BLKxGRY Tattoo Studio

I had an incredible experience during my session. Angel was very accommodating to what I desired. The studio is exceptionally well maintained and private. The added bonus of having entertainment while you're getting your tattoo done is marvelous. His craft is unlike any other and is damn good at it too. I look forward to getting more work done in the near future by him.

Angel has done both of my tattoos and I couldn't have asked for a better experience both times. Amazing shop atmosphere, with kind people all around. Angel was on time, had my design ready, and was able to walk me through a few different suggestions he had. We ended up agreeing on a script tattoo in his handwriting and it turned out awesome! Would highly recommend this artist and shop!

I got my first tattoo in this place, although I was a little scared, Lito gave me confidence, mainly because the place is very clean, it has a very professional cleaning system for each client and it plays music that makes you feel comfortable and very relaxed. .. I definitely recommend it 100%. excellent work Lito. Cheers from Waco TX.”

Great work. Definitely will come back for more.

This studio is the only studio I have returned to receive tattoos from. When I was personally recommended to reach out to AngelsTat2 I already had 3 tattoos done by 3 separate artists from 3 different studios. I now have a total of 9 tattoos and 6 have been completed by one artist from this studio. I feel safe and secure and truly relieved to have found Lito because I now truly have my own tattoo artist that I can bring concepts to and he brings them to life for me. I love coming into the studio because I always leave feeling brand new and fresh af with a new piece. Overall, I would recommend either Mr.Bustos or Lito for a tattoo to people regardless if it is your first tattoo or your fifth. Please continue reading for specifics.

Artist/Style
This is a speciality tattoo shop and it is very clearly stated on their website/instagram/studio/clientele/portfolios that this studio only does BLACK & GREY. You literally can not miss this. It’s the motto and the lifestyle. Regardless of what tattoo shop or artist you see they each have their own style and technique and its important to note that they do ORIGINAL work. There is a fine line of respect in the community and you should respect any artist that is willing to do a piece for you but deeply process and understand it will be in that specific artists’ style.
Mr. Bustos specializes in lettering and it is incredible the work he produces and how much he dedicates to creating it for his clients.
Lito does a variety of pieces and has done a few small pieces for me and recently completed a large piece for me as well.

Cost & Pricing
A deposit is required to secure an appointment and goes towards the final cost of your tattoo. Cost and pricing is dependent on a variety of factors. Size and detail are the major considerations to be aware of when you are given an estimate of the cost of your tattoo. Both Mr. Bustos and Lito are in high demand and have steady clientele. Their work is extraordinary and original and I believe their pricing to be fair for what they are creating and the time it takes to do so. It is a simple fact, if you think you can get it cheaper somewhere else than I would advise you to go somewhere else and get a cheaper tattoo. If you want quality, consistency, unique and custom work then you should consider reaching out to either Mr. Bustos or Lito for an original piece.

Booking & Availability
You can book via their website or individual instagrams. It is an appointment only studio and no walk-in appointments are available. There are instructions on what to include when submitting a tattoo for consideration that can be found on the website submission form or in the artist tattoo instagram highlights.It is important to remember this studio is by APPOINTMENT ONLY there are no walk-ins. Again, both Mr. Bustos and Lito are in high demand and have a steady clientele and it is important to remember they have a specific style they do and strictly only do Black and Grey so please be patient when submitting a concept because they need time to review submissions and review both their availability and your availability to find a date that works best.

Communication
Communication is a two way street. Lito and I are always in an understanding of what my goals and desires are for the artwork that I requested and that he is creating for my body. Lito is EXTREMELY patient with me and for that I am forever grateful. He understands his clients needs and is able to meet them and often surpass their expectations. Lito is extremely detail orientated and precise in his techniques and I believe that is what makes him a great communicator.

Cleanliness
The shop is extremely clean and well maintained. The cleaning procedures for pre and post ink are thorough (even pre-pandemic). I appreciate the care and thoughtfulness that Mr. Bustos and Lito put forward in making sure the shop is above and beyond spotless. I personally am an immunocompromised individual and I have always felt safe in the shop in regards to my health. Cleanliness is a top priority here at the studio.

Clean and professional workplace. Very talented artist. Artist make you feel safe and comfortable wile getting your artwork done. They Are always willing to work with you as long as your work with them.
