Hollywood Stars Tattoo Presents Mister ERIK GUTIERREZ

I LET MY DAUGHTER TATTOO ME WHEN SHE WAS SIX. GREATEST TATTOO EXPERIENCE I have been through so much in the twenty plus years tattooing.  I started tattooing at 13.  The first tattoo I had done was putting my initials on a girl I was in love with, she had wanted her boyfriend’s initials but I decided to put my own instead.  It has been a long journey getting to where I am today, I went from tattooing out of a garage for 5 years, begging friends and family to let me tattoo on them because I needed the practice, then from one hood shop to another.  When I thought I was about to call it quits I joined the Marines, there I didn’t have to beg anyone to get tattooed, marines came to me daily and I learned so much and tried many different styles.  I learned by trial and error.  After getting out I tried going to the VA for help to open my dream shop and was told they could not help , just a home loan and I needed a secure job.  It took me five years of hard work after dealing with the VA that I realized I needed to use what the Marines had taught me as far as writing missions and patrol orders to finally open Hollywood Stars Tattoo.  I couldn’t let my dream  just slip away like that, a dream I’ve had since I was thirteen years old. When I finally opened I had many artists trying to work here, I worked the first year completely alone because I was so picky about letting another artist into my dream shop.  I was searching for good people with great work habits and customer hospitality.  I know it is a lot to ask of an artist to be a good person ,but i cant work with dirt bags. I don’t want the bad element of this industry around the great clients that come into the shop.  I want people to feel at home. It is  hard to feel comfortable in a shop when there’s drama at the work place.  It took another five years  to of searching to find and fine tune the proper crew to join me in my struggles in making Hollywood Stars Tattoo an amazing place to get tattooed.  The artist here will come and go, as we get new artist in they go through trials and I am very proud of those who survive the journey . Book your greatest tattoo experience today!! hollywdstarstattoo@yahoo.com ask for Erik let me know how we can custom your event.
