Luis Miguel Hinestroza is an embodiment of diverse inspirations and meticulous craftsmanship with 13 years of experience.

Proficient in Blackwork, Geometric, Fine line, and Etching/engraving, Luis delves deep into an array of influences ranging from the masterpieces of legends like Doré, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo to the intricate realms of old etchings, intaglio printmaking processes, and Japanese Ukiyo-e.

He believes that the power of a strong outline ensures not just longevity for a tattoo but also renders an enigmatic charm as it ages.

Luis's background in graphic design introduced him to the art of tattooing, leading him down a path of self-discovery, relentless research, and an insatiable curiosity about techniques, machines, and pioneering artists, including our very own Russ Abbott.

Today, he feels privileged to hone his craft at Ink and Dagger, continually drawing inspiration from and contributing to its legacy.
