About the artist

Tirando el arte

William Tattoos — black & grey realism specialist based between New York and New Jersey. Every piece is 100% custom; no flash, no shortcuts. Just serious work for clients who want something that ages well for decades.

My focus: clean technique, soft shading, obsessive detail. What matters is not just how it looks the day it heals — but how it ages. That's the line between a good tattoo and a great one.
