The Artist
TONY RAY
AGUIRRE
Tony Ray Aguirre is a premium tattoo artist based in Upland, California, operating out of a private studio in Southern California. With over 13 years of professional tattooing experience and 9 years specializing in cover-up work, he has built a reputation for solving the problems other artists won't touch.
His approach is rooted in design thinking — every tattoo is treated as a problem to be engineered, not just rendered. Cover-ups, in particular, require understanding what's underneath and building something that doesn't just hide it, but makes it irrelevant.
Tony works by application only, accepting a limited number of clients per week to ensure every session receives his full attention. Work is done at a private studio — no walk-ins, no compromises on environment or focus.
