Bio

Nikko Hurtado sums up his myspace bio… “Hello my name is Nikko Hurtado I currently live in the High Desert. I work at a great shop with some of the greatest guys I know. I am very lucky to be surrounded with great people in my life that stand by me and push me. If you haven’t figured it out yet this is my work on this myspace thing so as you can see I am a tattoo artist and I love it. With the work you see here some of it is up to 4 years old and it is something I have been working very hard; blood, sweat, and tears. Since I started in 2002 I can’t get enough of it and I plan to keep on going. My goals in my career as an artist are to push my own limits and boundaries and hopefully I can influence 1 or 2 people along the way as I have been influence by many others. I found myself being more critical of myself the longer I am in this profession. It is the greatest feeling to be passionate about what I do.”

Nikko has distinguished himself as one of the best tattoo artist in the world with his dramatic use of color and shading that brings his pieces to life.
