David Balvino Irizarry, better known as Izzy, has made a significant impact in the tattoo industry since starting in 2008. Specializing in illustrative designs that gracefully traverse both color and black and gray spectrums, Izzy is also proficient in black and gray realism.

Izzy's artistic vision is fueled by an eclectic mix of inspirations, ranging from the dramatic storytelling of comics to the detailed forms of Renaissance sculptures, the dark allure of macabre themes, and the vibrancy of nature and pop culture. His interest in erotic imagery also adds a bold dimension to his work. This wide range of influences allows Izzy to create tattoos that are more than just art; they're visual stories inked on the skin.

Izzy's art is also shaped by his personal experiences, including surviving near-death situations like being swept out to sea and an armed robbery. These experiences have not only given him a deeper appreciation for life but also influence his positive and resilient outlook. This perspective is reflected in his work, adding depth and meaning to each piece he creates.
