Pablo was born in Phoenix Arizona to a Mexican immigrant mother and father in November, 1984. Since Pablo could hold a crayon, he showed a lot of interest in art and design. By the time he was 10 he had already created designs for his fathers business in the form of shirts, signs, flyers and business cards. By the time he turned 13 he had already been published in local newspapers and won awards for creative writing and his art was featured on LOWRIDER ARTE MAGAZINE. As a young adult, he would use his talent to create and design album covers and merchandise for local bands and artists. Dropping out of art school he started a streetwear brand in 2008, achieving recognition from artists such as Mac Miller, Murs, Atmosphere, Wiz Khalifa and other artists and brands like The Hundreds, Stussy, LRG and NEW ERA being sold worldwide with Karmaloop, skate shops and pop up shops. 

Now since 2021, Pablo has taken his talent and creativity to tattooing. Learning and creating amazing works of art, different styles and a unique tattoo experience. In early 2023 Pablo opened up his own studio in the heart of downtown phoenix. The studio has a sleek, clean look giving an industrial art gallery vibe with original exposed brick from 1949, above the famous underground lounge and music venue Valley Bar. So whether you’re looking for a custom piece of permanent art on your body, a piece from his many pre-drawn flash books or catch him doing pop up events around the valley at any given night. Just know that you will be giving an experience that will live on as long as your tattoo.
