Frank Frazetta tribute by Alfonso Perez

Blind Side Tattoos artist Alfonso Perez has finished Frank Frazetta's iconic "Death Dealer" tattoo. Frank Frazetta was an artist who got his start drawing images for early comics such Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon and became one of the most widely recognized science fiction artists of the 20th century. Frazetta's notoriety brought him commissions from musical artists such as Molly Hatchet to design album art. The Death Dealer became a well known recurring character in many of Frazetta's paintings and the popularity of the character grew to the point where a number of comics and graphic novels were created about the mysterious figure. Alfonso Perez worked for 15 painstaking hours on this masterpiece which is worn by Blind Side Tattoo Apprentice Mark Strong and available to be viewed in person Mon-Sat from 2pm-10pm. The attention to detail in the tattoo is remarkable and is just one more example of the type of top-quality, one-of-a-kind tattoos done at Blind Side Tattoo Studio.

Viva Mexico Cabrones!

Always Connected Microphone Tattoo

The homie Damu, was interested in getting his first tattoo. 

He wanted to express his love for music and a reminder to stay...

 "Always Connected".

He left with a tattoo that LL Cool J, can only envy.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Tattoo

  I met Frank Hernandez, earlier this year at the Slinging Ink Tattoo Expo in

 San Antonio Tx. 

He wasn't quite sure about getting his first tattoo at the time and decided to wait.

Im glad he decided to get it at the Blind Side, where good things always happen to those who wait.

He chose to show his dedication to the union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, by getting the IBEW logo blasted on his arm.

NO this isn't it

He thaught he knew what he wanted, I gave him what he couldn't imagine. - Mr. Siego
