welcome, new artist WILL GONZALEZ!!!!!

I would like to take some time to make an official welcome to the newest member of the Loose Screw family, tattoo artist Will Gonzalez.   Originally from NY, Will started tattooing in 2007 and began working fully in custom in 2009.  His favorite style is of course, illustrative/new school.  He likes his work to be close to real, with a touch of silliness.

Will has taken home a handful of awards for his amazing tattoos, and has been featured in a number of magazines.  He strives to make an impact on the industry.  Wills talent is not limited to just skin, he also works with oil paint, acrylic, and markers….with oil being his favorite medium.

Please take some time to check out his portfolio. If you would like to book an appointment with Will, or talk to him about commissions you can reach him here.
