Denise Pinto
Tattooing professionally since 2011, my career began in Los Angeles where I lived and worked for 14 years. I move & travel often for work, but as of August 2026, I am proud to call Rabid Hands Tattoo Studio home base.
My background in street shops has prepared me to be entertaining, flexible, and proficient in different styles. I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently, and am highly influenced by the folk art of my Latin American heritage. I love learning about, and respectfully representing all cultures through art.
I am very experienced with melanation, and do my best to accommodate all skin & body types. It is my pleasure to educate my customers. Weird problems sometimes call for weird solutions! Ask me anything.
All ideas & challenges are welcome, though I am most interested in developing a body of large-scale, artistic, colorful or black & grey tattoos. I work personally with my customers on their designs, and offer a hands-on creative experience.
Illustrative “free hand” tattooing is what I am most known for. Coverup tattoos are my favorite. All budgets are welcome, considered, respected, and accommodated to the best of my ability.
Walk-ins are always welcome & I am always accepting new customers.
For appointments, please reach out via email, or call the shop any day, from 12pm-8pm. I work from Wednesday-Saturday.
IG is the best place to look at my work for now, and where I announce specials, flash, & travel plans.
Looking forward to swapping stories & making dreams come true with you!
