The studio

Kris Coronado works from a private studio built for slow sessions and precise line work. Every piece starts with a conversation — placement, scale, and how the tattoo will live on your body over time.

Specialties include blackwork, illustrative composition, and realism with cinematic contrast. The process is quiet, deliberate, and collaborative.
