About
My name is Nils Martinez
"Driven by a passion for high-contrast textures and lifelike details, I specialize in Black & Grey Realism. For me, tattooing is more than just ink on skin; it’s about capturing a story, a memory, or a vision and transforming it into a permanent masterpiece.
Based in Denver, Colorado, I focus on creating custom pieces that flow perfectly with the body’s anatomy. My goal is to provide a professional, creative, and comfortable experience for every client.
Proudly offering bilingual service in English & Español. Let’s collaborate to bring your next great project to life."

Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
Congratulations on your new piece! To ensure the best healing and keep the realism sharp, please follow these steps:
1. THE FIRST HOURS: Keep the protective film (Saniderm/SecondSkin) for 3 to 5 days as instructed. If using plastic wrap, remove after 2-4 hours. Do not re-bandage.
2. CLEANING: Wash gently with lukewarm water and unscented, antibacterial soap (like Dial Gold). Use only your clean hands. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Do not rub.
3. MOISTURIZING: Once the film is off, apply a very thin layer of unscented lotion (like Lubriderm or Aquaphor) 2-3 times a day. Your skin needs to breathe; do not over-moisturize.
4. IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS:
-
DO NOT pick, scratch, or peel the skin.
-
NO swimming, pools, hot tubs, or saunas for at least 2-3 weeks.
-
AVOID direct sunlight during healing. Once healed, always use SPF 50+ to prevent fading.
-
AVOID tight clothing that might rub against the tattoo.
