Dimas Reyes
Dimas was born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in Bradenton, Florida. He received a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from Ringling College of Art & Design in 2001. Dimas especially loves collaborating with clients to design creative, custom tattoos of an illustrative nature, telling a story or expressing some kind of emotion. His background before tattooing was as an illustrator and painter, so his approach to tattoo design is often more narrative and painterly. Dimas enjoys most art and tattoo styles, but is particularly inspired by projects involving people, animals, or Biblical imagery. Don't be intimidated if his hair is nicer than yours, we can't all be perfect:)
