NICK RICHARD — TATTOO ARTIST, BOCA RATON

Today I work out of Big Kahuna Tattoo in Boca Raton, Florida. I specialize in what I call modern classics. Traditional American, Japanese, Fine Line, and Black & Grey tattoos that are built on the fundamentals of real tattooing but drawn and executed with a contemporary eye.

My approach is simple. I listen to what you want, I tell you the truth about how to make it last, and I have your back from the first conversation to the finished tattoo. Whether you're a first timer or a serious collector, you'll leave with something you're proud of.

Walk ins are always welcome at Big Kahuna Tattoo, 73 S. Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, FL 33432. Browse over 200 examples of my work in my Full Portfolio.
