Franco’s journey into tattooing began early when he picked up his first tattoo machine in the 9th grade back in 2012. Over the past 14 years of tattooing and 9 years of professional experience, he has developed a strong reputation for creating clean, well-balanced tattoos with a focus on black and grey work.

Inspired by renowned artists like Steve Butcher and Nikko Hurtado, Franco continues to refine his craft by studying composition, contrast, and realism. His goal is always to deliver tattoos that are both visually striking and built to last.

Art has always been a major part of Franco’s life beyond tattooing. He enjoys oil painting and graffiti, both of which influence his creativity and artistic style. Outside the studio, Franco spends his time working on cars, collecting comic books and trading cards, and staying connected to the art and culture that inspires his work.

Born in Stafford and raised in Houston for more than 24 years, Franco is proud to be part of Houston’s tattoo community.

His early artistic inspiration came from classic cartoons like Tom & Jerry, Transformers, and Looney Tunes, which helped spark his passion for drawing and creative expression at a young age.

Today, Franco continues to grow as an artist while bringing his dedication and creativity to every tattoo he creates at Texas Body Art.
