MR. INX

Hiya! My name is Chris Rogers, and I’m just a nerd with tattoos. Born and raised in California, and I have been tattooing for almost 20 years! I absolutely love doing video games, comic books, and anime tattoos. My goal is to build a Studio that focuses on the artists, helping them grow not only artistically but financially too, through media and entrepreneurial efforts! ⸺ What tattoo companies are your favorite? Tatsoul, Cheyenne tattoo equipment, and Electrum Tattoo Supply ⸺ What advice would you give to someone wanting to get into the tattoo industry? I think you should first decide if you want to be involved in the creative side or the business side, then do your 80 hours of homework and dive deep ⸺ What’s your favorite thing to tattoo? Final Fantasy! ⸺ What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo virgin) The first step is to find a style you really like, then find an artist that does that style, and you love their work. Most importantly, get something you want, and don’t let any kind of judgment dictate that ⸺ What do you think is in store for the future of tattooing? I think tattoos will have a wide range of applications in so many different fields, from esthetics to scientific applications like health and wellness and maybe even electronic functionality. What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?

Be an artist first! Please don’t tattoo if you can’t draw halfway decent! Or at the least, if you trace, do it well! ✕
