The Artist

Every piece starts
with your story.

Dre is a Los Angeles tattoo artist and the owner of Passion Tattoo LA. His work lives in the space between Chicano tradition and photorealistic precision. Religious iconography, mythological battle scenes, cultural symbolism, personal memorials. All black and grey. All custom. No flash, no repeats.

With 18,000 people watching on Instagram and a studio he built from the ground up, the work speaks for itself. But if you need to hear it said: he takes the craft seriously, and it shows.

How It Works

From idea to ink

01
Reach Out
DM on Instagram or book through the link in bio. Share your idea, placement, and size. Rough concepts are fine.
02
Consultation
We talk through the vision. Reference photos, placement on the body, scale, detail level. A deposit locks your date.
03
Custom Design
Every tattoo is drawn from scratch for you. You see the design before the session. Revisions until it feels right.
04
The Session
Clean studio, solid music, no rush. Aftercare instructions included. We do it right so it heals right.
