Meet Slick
Born and raised in Los Angeles, this original West Coast tattoo artist now calls Utah home—but his roots run deep. With 16 years of professional tattooing experience, his artistic journey actually began much earlier. In 1995, he joined a graffiti crew, where his passion and natural talent for lettering first took shape and laid the foundation for everything that followed.
He specializes in black and grey realism and custom freehand lettering, combining technical precision with a strong personal style. While he is highly skilled across multiple styles, lettering remains his heart and soul—the core of his artistic identity and the craft he is most passionate about.
A true traveling artist, he attends 1–2 tattoo conventions every month across the country, consistently showcasing his work and connecting with the tattoo community nationwide. His dedication and versatility have earned him multiple awards in lettering, black and grey, and color, proving he is a well-rounded and respected artist in the industry.
Backed by official sponsors, he proudly represents the Big Sleeps Ink and Tae-Tu Pro teams, traveling and working alongside them, and is also supported by tattoobooking.com. With decades of artistic influence, nationwide recognition, and an unshakable love for lettering, his work continues to push the craft forward while staying true to where it all began.
