Chicano-Style Black-and-Grey Tattoos in Central Oregon

The Chicano black-and-grey tradition — built in California prison yards and East LA shops — is the heart of what Davi does. The high desert doesn't see much of it. He's bringing it.

Chicano black-and-grey is its own language: smooth shading, fine single-needle detail, religious iconography, lowriders, women's portraits, bandanas, rosaries, smoke. The aesthetic is reverent and specific. Davi's pulled from the tradition since he started, and it's the work he loves most. If you're looking for Chicano-style black-and-grey in Bend or anywhere in Central Oregon, this is what you came for.
