I’m Kevin Garcia, a 24-year-old tattoo artist at First Class Studios in Dover, New Jersey. My wife and daughter are my biggest motivations, and they inspire the care and commitment I bring to every piece.

I’ve been tattooing for almost three years, specializing in black & grey and fine-line work. My love for drawing started long before I entered the industry: I grew up drawing on people and helping classmates with their school projects, which is where I believe that first spark began.

I never went to art school or took formal art classes, but once I stepped into tattooing, I knew this was where I belonged. Working by appointment gives me the time to create a calm, collaborative experience from the first conversation through the healed result. Bringing people’s visions to life is what I love most about my job, and I hope the quality of my work shows just how much this craft means to me.
