That same year, I was invited to the tattoo convention in Aalborg, Denmark, where I also participated in a live painting auction for charity.<\/p><p>One of the biggest milestones in my career came in 2016, when I joined Last Rites Tattoo in New York City, a legendary studio where I worked for nearly three years alongside world-renowned artists. During this time, I also traveled across the United States, attending conventions as both a competitor and a judge, and earning multiple awards.<\/p><p>Texas became a turning point for me. At the <a href=\"https:\/\/josecontrerasart.com\/es\/black-and-grey-realism-tattoo-artist\/\">Dallas Tattoo Expo<\/a>, I participated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/josecontrerasart.com\/es\/black-and-grey-realism-tattoo-artist\/\">competition<\/a> and was honored with the award for Best Black &amp; Grey Tattoo of the Show. The atmosphere, the kindness of the people, and the sense of calm I found in Texas made me want to return.<\/p><p>That led me to join Dark Age Tattoo in Denton, Texas, one of the most important studios in the state, where I worked with a team of 17 artists, constantly exchanging knowledge and even studying other art forms like oil painting and charcoal drawing, which enriched my vision as an artist.<\/p><p>In 2023, I participated in the All Stars Tattoo Convention in Miami, where I won 2nd Place for Best Black &amp; Grey Realism among more than 100 artists from around the world.<\/p><p>In 2024, I opened my own private studio in Lewisville, Texas. It became a creative space where I welcomed high-level guest artists and developed many of my most personal projects, while continuing to connect with clients who value quality and detail.<\/p><p>Today, I am proudly based in Austin, TX. Being here has been an incredible experience\u2014not only because I truly enjoy the city&#8217;s energy and lifestyle, but because Austin has become an inspiring home for this new chapter of my career.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e665fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1e665fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Animal Black and Grey Realism Tattoo Artist in Dallas Austin<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me About Me est 2007 It&#8217;s all aboutthe details About me From a very young age, I felt a deep curiosity for drawing and body modification.
