In a world of artists who only work within their preferred styles or can't be bothered to really engage with what a client wants, Chris stands out as one of the best tattoo artists in Reno. He listens, asks the right questions, and creates work that comes out even better than what you had in your head. Chris is a Reno original and a true craftsman who has spent decades perfecting his art.

I can’t recommend Chris at Black Cat highly enough. His work is consistently clean, detailed, and executed with an incredible level of precision. The pricing is fair and transparent, especially for the high-quality results he delivers. I constantly receive compliments on my tattoos, which speaks volumes about his craftsmanship and eye for detail. The studio is professional, welcoming, and clearly holds itself to a high standard. If you’re looking for top tier work you can be proud of, Chris is absolutely the artist to see.
