About the artist

For Armand, tattooing wasn’t part of the plan — until it was. What started with getting tattooed by a friend quickly became a deeper connection to the craft. He landed an apprenticeship in Las Vegas, and from that moment on, he was all in. Now, with 14 years of tattooing under his belt, Armand has carved out a style that’s bold, emotional, and always evolving.

Specializing in neotraditional, traditional, and black and gray, Armand brings serious impact to every piece. His go-to subjects? Flowers, skulls, snakes, and beasts — elements that flow naturally with the body and leave room for both intensity and artistry. His design philosophy is all about flow and originality, anchored in a personal connection to the work and a strong emotional foundation. For Armand, tattooing is more than skill — it’s expression.

Tattooing out of Club Tattoo at the Miracle Mile, he thrives on the daily connections with people from around the world. It’s that human element — the stories, the trust, the transformation — that keeps his work grounded and meaningful. Over the years, he's proudest of the big, complex projects that test his limits and showcase the full range of what he can do.

Armand’s influences include heavyweights like Elliot Wells, Jeff Gogue, and James Tex, and his passion runs deep. When he's not tattooing, he’s gaming, driving, working on cars, or at the range — balancing his focused studio time with high-adrenaline hobbies. He’s also deeply spiritual, grounded in prayer and faith — something most people wouldn’t expect, but it’s part of what keeps him steady in an ever-changing industry.

He’s not here to chase trends. He respects the classics, embraces change, and stays true to his style. If you’re looking for bold work with heart, precision, and originality, Armand’s ready to bring your idea to life.
