Hello, my name is TJ Talarico. I’m the owner and sole artist at Elephant Soul Tattoo Design Studio. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and attended the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City, MO, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts in 1988 with an emphasis on Illustration and Classical Painting.
After graduating, I worked as a freelance editorial and commercial illustrator for over ten years. From there, I worked as an Art Director designing custom murals, later branching out and forming my own custom mural company. My work can be seen in private estates, businesses, and casinos around the country, such as Caesars Palace, Mandalay Bay, and Alladin, just to name a few.
After working as a mural artist for over fifteen years, I was introduced to the art of tattooing, and as they say, “It was ALL OVER!” I became addicted to the art of tattooing! Although I’m experienced in many styles, I specialize in black and gray illustrative realism tattoos. I take great pride in my art and the relationships formed with the people I work on, and I am proud to call many of them my friends. My versatility, passion, and background in art make me technically strong in all styles, and my ability to design and the attention I put into detail distinguish me throughout the world of tattooing. Thank you, and I hope to see you at the studio soon. “Keep on Inkin on” ✕
