T.J. TALARICO

Hello, Thank you for visiting my page. I hope you enjoy looking through my work and learning a little more about me. My name is TJ Talarico. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and attended the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City, MO where I earned a Bachelor's Degree of Fine Arts in 1988 with emphasis on Illustration and Classical Painting. After graduating I worked as a freelance editorial and commercial illustrator for over ten years.  From there I worked as an Art Director designing custom murals, later branching out and forming my own custom mural company.  My work can be seen in private estates, businesses and casinos around the country such as Caesars Palace, Mandalay Bay and Alladin, just to name a few. After working as a mural artist for over fifteen years I was introduced to the art of tattooing and as they say, "It was ALL OVER!" I became addicted to the art of tattooing! Although I'm experienced in many styles, I specializes in illustrative tattoos, whether that be black and grey or color.  I take great pride in my art and the relationships formed with the people I work on and am proud to call many of them my friends.  My versatility, passion and background in art make me technically strong in all styles and my ability to design and the attention I put into detail distinguish me throughout the world of tattooing. Thank you again and I hope to see you soon. "Keep on Inkin on"
