Choso, an underground tattoo artist is a deeply empathetic, mysterious figure with a style as bold and raw as the bonds he holds with those closest to him. The kind of artist who doesn’t just mark your skin—he leaves a piece of his soul in the ink.

Every line he inks would feel like a ritual—intentional, methodical, and personal. His studio is filled with crimson tones, some incense burning in the background, and walls lined with abstract, visceral designs—veins, hearts, bloodstreams, family sigils—because everything he does is rooted in connection, memory, and loyalty.

Walking in, you can see how put together and serious he was about his job. Choso had this alluring aura to him—and he also did piercings.
