I cannot say enough good things about Tanchez! He is incredibly talented and his skill is impeccable. A friend of mine who got a tattoo done by him recommended him. I had a tattoo that I needed to get covered up. He met with me to get a feel for what I wanted, listened to my ideas, and transformed them into an amazing piece of art. He was able to set up the first session very quickly and had me come in for the second session right away instead of having to wait a few weeks. He's also the only tattoo artist I've ever been to that has showed me that the needles he's using are coming straight out of the bag brand new, which was comforting and professional. He checked in with me in between the two sessions to make sure the tattoo was doing ok and that I was comfortable. When he completed the second (final) session and I looked in the mirror, I was in complete awe of how amazing it turned out. It was more beautiful than I even imagined. I've gotten so many compliments on it and can't stop looking at it. You can't see the original tattoo at all, which I didn't think was completely possible. With tattoos especially, you get what you pay for and he is worth every penny! I'm so thankful for him and his amazing work! He's so awesome and I'll definitely be going back to him for future work! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I cannot tell you how many times I said "I freakin love it" during/after my tattoo sessions. My thigh piece is incredible! Tanchez is an extremely talented artist and super personable. His skill level without a doubt is 10+; my lines are perfect, the shading blends well, he's light handed; the entire piece is just WOW! His studio is always clean; he's well-groomed (a important factor for me), no one hangs out in the studio (another plus since I was having a thigh piece done to cover scarring). The atmosphere is welcoming. I can't wait to get more work done. Thanks Tanchez! read more

Super happy with my new tattoo and Tanchez was awesome. Small, but comfortable studio. He asked what music I liked and after some back and forth we found a common interest so he set up a YouTube video playlist of Carlos Santana's music. Watching and listening to Santana while Tanchez created my tattoo made the time fly-by and the process more comfortable. A friend recommended Tanchez and I also recommend Tanchez to anyone getting their first tattoo or someone adding to their collection! If I ever decide to get another tattoo I know exactly where I'm going - Tanchez. read more

I'd like to start off saying this is my 4th tattoo and 4th shop. That being said, the shop is extremely clean and he takes pride in his work/business. He will go out of his way as much as possible to accommodate his clients. The tattoo idea I walked in with was completely different from what I walked out with (in a very good way.) He is creative, and will help you put your own flair on whatever you want done. Highly recommend if you want someone who is creative, detailed, professional, and friendly. read more

This was my second piece with Tanchez and I am absolutely in love with this one too. My tattoo literally looks like a stamp of the picture I gave him. Everywhere I go I get compliments on my tattoos because of how realistic and detailed they are. Tanchez's shop is one of the nicest shops I've been in, its very clean and organized and I love that he opens all needles and equipment in front of you. He makes this painful process a great experience and I will never go to anyone else. read more

I went to Tanchez for my first tattoo and I absolutely love it. I was scared about how the pain was going to be but he would explain everything to me before, during, and after the session which made me feel a whole lot better. The actual tattoo was exactly what I wanted and even more! I definitely would recommend going to Tanchez, he is a great artist and a very cooperative person. I already know I will be going to back to him for my second tattoo! read more

Professional, clean, talented artist! I contacted Tanchez for a cover-up and he was great with helping me decide on an idea that worked best for covering up what I already had. The private shop was very clean and comfortable, and Tanchez was so welcoming and friendly throughout my four hour appointment. The custom piece he drew up for me came out so beautifully. I love it so much! I will definitely be coming back to him for more work! read more

Tanchez is an outstanding artist based close to me. His work is kick ass, and I will definitely be visiting him again. His hours are flexible and he is a super nice dude. He puts time into the artwork to make sure the design is what the client wants exactly. His attention to detail is immaculate. I would highly recommend him for anyone in the DC area, or even for people from Maryland and southern Virginia. The drive would be worth it. read more

Francisco is an amazingly talented artist. I've had three tattoos done by him and absolutely love all of them. He offers great suggestions and feedback with any questions you have.

He has an awesome personality and I highly recommend! read more
