Nick Galaura tattoos an american traditional tattoo on a man's arm

my STORY

Hello! Nice to meet you! You can find me at Black & Grey Atelier in Downtown San Diego, California.

Ever since I received my first tattoo almost 20 years ago, I have loved tattoos and the history of tattooing. During my tattoo-collecting journey, I have come to believe in keeping tattooing special, community-driven, and artistically fluid, all the while upholding the traditional approach of a solid, well-made tattoo that lasts.

I primarily focus my work American Traditional and Japanese tattoos. Bold lines and bright color. I find inspiration in Asian and American folklore imagery; Tattoos with fun stories.

Every body is welcome in my chair. If you’re looking to start a new project, or would like to say hi, I am always accepting messages. Thank you.
