Javier "Citó" Valadez

Hi, Im Javier (Citó) Valadez. I have been a Tattoo artist for 15 years, co-own Beach Park Tattoo, and am a father of 2 and a puppy. I draw inspiration from both my past in Cali, but also present life in Oahu. I create tattoos that resonate with the vibrant history and culture of Southern California. My unique style combines elements of Old Cali Chicano and Traditional tattooing, creating pieces that are rich in cultural significance and artistic depth. I pull inspiration from religious paintings and statues, incorporating these religious aspects into my work to add layers of meaning and reverence.
