JONATHAN AGUILERA
My name is Jonathan Aguilera, and I am the proud owner of Blasted Tattoos and Piercings. At 27 years old, I have had the privilege of dedicating over half of my life to the art of tattooing. I started my journey at just 14 years old, and tattooing has since become my passion, my career, and a central part of who I am. With 13 years of experience, I am deeply committed to my craft and have honed a diverse range of tattoo styles, but my true love lies in black and gray realism.
Tattooing is not just a job to me; it’s a lifelong passion. Whether I’m creating art for my clients or teaching the next generation of tattoo artists, I am constantly inspired by the power of this medium. I am dedicated to perfecting my craft and plan to continue tattooing for as long as my hands will allow me. If cost of living were no concern, I would happily tattoo for free—it’s truly the work I love. Tattooing isn’t just a profession; it’s my life.

ALISTAR
What I love most about tattooing at Blasted Tattoos and Piercings is the focus on art. Nearly everyone here is not only a skilled tattoo artist but an incredible artist overall. From the beginning of my apprenticeship, I was taught that strong art fundamentals are the foundation of great tattooing, and that lesson has stayed with me.

My experience at Blasted has been incredible. Everyone here is not only knowledgeable but also humble and exceptionally talented. What I love most is how each artist’s unique personality shines through in their art, creating an inspiring environment. I couldn’t ask for a better tattoo family to grow and create with.

Grease
Hello, I’m Grease. I’m a Mexican/American tattoo artist, born and raised in Arlington, Texas. I’ve specialized in black and grey realism and lettering for the past two years and started tattooing in 2021. Art has always interested me, especially now that I am able to put it on people’s skin and they can wear it for life. Bringing people’s vision to life is the goal; I especially enjoy collaborating ideas and references with clients to enhance the uniqueness/creativity of their tattoo. I hope to continue specializing in black and grey realism this year and create large-scale designs on the body.
