Behind the Art
Nico Negron is a black and grey realism tattoo artist in Huntington, New York. "I have been an artist as long as I can remember. I studied art independently practicing a wide variety of mediums from charcoal to oil painting. In 2010, I began my tattooing career and dove headfirst into photo realism tattooing. For the first 4 years of my career, I was extremely fortunate to be taken under the wings of the industry's leading artists. I travelled to upwards of 40 cities a year doing tattoo conventions and guest spots, learning all that I could. I went on to work at Bang Bang NYC where we tended to the world's biggest stars, leading to my feature in Bang Bang's book alongside other amazing artists and top celebrities such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, you name it. After leaving the city, I came back to my roots on Long Island where I opened my private studio in the heart of Huntington Village."
