Tattoo update: Chris Trevino is The Man

Dear Ray,

You ink looks terrific. Would you be willing to discuss with me your work with Cris Trevino? I have commissioned Chris to do my full body suit of nine dragons. I start in mid-November and will have three one week sessions through the end of the year. At that point we will see how far we've gotten and then plan for the rest of the year. I would appreciate learning about your experience with Chris, what you know of his current work (yours is great) and anything else you would care to share about Chris's atristry.

Thanks,
Ed

Hey I plan to get work done I put down my 200 deposit how long does it usually take after I put my deposit down to see him? I called them and they just said to call to see if there are any cancelations. How long did it take you to see him after you put your deposit down. Email me

Muito foda esse trampo....parabens...

Hey there nice tattoo I am having a tattoo worked on about the same amount of work how many hours of work do u have as far as outline/shading/color.

Hey there nice tattoo I am having a tattoo worked on about the same amount of work how many hours of work do u have as far as outline/shading/color on that arm.

I kind of lost count, but it's been around 7 sessions or so, 2-3 hours each.

Yeah people ask all the time, 'how long did it take' and 'what did it cost' and the answer to both is always a variant on 'fuck if I can remember'.

It's all a blur after a while...

Hey - just stumbled across this site. I've been looking for Chris Trevino to do a tattoo for me and can't find him in Austin where he used to work. Is he is New Orleans now? If so, where can I find him?

He's still at Perfection Tattoo in Austin as far as I know, on Guadalupe around 42nd Street. Or he was in July when I got this one finished, and he better still be there 'cause I got an appointment to start the other sleeve in February.

Good luck.

thanks for letting me know! we just went and tried to see him last weekend but he wasn't in. do you have any way to get in touch with him without going through his assistant?

your tats are awesome!

No, you pretty much have to go through his assistant. If you drop by the shop and catch him when he's in, he can usually chat with you for a few minutes.

Getting on his schedule is tricky, though. You have to put down your deposit and then show up on the next booking day first thing in the morning, usually around the first of the month every other month. And he books 4-6 months in advance.

Good luck. He's worth the trouble.

Thanks man.

Nice tat. Maybe you should spend more time in the gym instead of a tattoo parlor working on you man tits.

Bite my ass, fucktard. You didn't even use a real email address, unless josh12895er@hotmail.com is just temporarily broken.

Go tend to your own manliness, anonymous douchebag from Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, and leave the grownups alone.

The lowbrow types are fun to toy with, for a little while at least. Shame about the anonymity, though; makes you wonder if Mr. Olympia here walks the walk or if he's just some pencil-neck 12-year-old who snuck into mom's computer.

What was that Trevino was saying the other night when he was working on my other sleeve? People who say "tat" are irritating fucking poseurs? Sumthin' like that...

Man tits are hot.

Hi Ray,
This may be a bit late but I'm heartened by the last post here being in 2008! I'm thinking of travelling to the States and/or Japan to get tattooed by Chris. so, sorry, but I'm gona ask how long it took! Mainly coz its unclear from previous posts whether the time related to one arm or both.

How long did each arm take from start to finish? This is so I can plan how long to factor in for trips and whether Japan or the US will be better. Cheers Ray.
