Welcome to Tony Art Tattoos, where real stories are told through black and grey ink. My name is Tony, and I’m a professional black and grey tattoo artist in Ontario, California, specializing in portrait realism tattoos with over 16 years of experience.

My journey into tattooing started in February 2007, during a time of hardship while I was incarcerated. I was already an artist, and when my cellmate saw my drawings, he asked for a custom piece—and that moment sparked the beginning of something much bigger. I came home in February 2009 and never let go of the craft. By 2013, I earned my spot in a professional tattoo shop, and since then, I’ve been tattooing full-time, building a name through consistency, quality, and respect for the art.

At my core, I’m a portrait artist. I love creating black and grey tattoos that carry emotion, memory, and meaning. Whether it’s a tribute to a loved one, a family portrait, or a design that tells your personal story, I’m here to bring it to life with precision and soul.

My specialties include:

• Black and Grey Portrait Tattoos

• Realism

• Custom Memorial Tattoos

• Realism inspired Tattoo Designs

• Detailed, High-Contrast Work

Outside of tattooing, I continue to grow my skills through oil painting, charcoal, and graphite art—these roots fuel the realism and depth I bring to every tattoo.
