Black & grey realism and portraiture. Custom work built to last a lifetime, out of Cultural Image Tattoo.
Raised in Compton, CA, Nene has built a career on black & grey realism and portraiture — the kind of detailed, lifelike work that turns a photo into skin. He's the owner of Cultural Image Tattoo, where his client list spans local collectors to international travelers seeking his signature style.
