Classic | Dynamic | Rugged
@rhyno_108 | www.rhynotattoo.com | rhynotattoo@gmail.com
Rinel Tabamo, or Rhyno, is the first tattooer in Chicago to learn the traditional Japanese hand poke method known as tebori. He is known for his intricate design work when working with machines. However, his current goal is to keep his designs simple yet powerful, inspired by the history of wabori. Rhyno has been tattooing since 2014. Outside of tattooing, his hobbies include breakdancing, writing music, playing drums in a band, and learning Japanese. While tattooing, he might listen to music from jazz mixtapes to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

@jakeriveratattoo | jakeriveratattoo@gmail.com
With 11 years of tattooing experience, Jake is recognized as a prolific artist, presenting hundreds of paintings and designs available for tattooing. He is also one of the only two artists in the Chicagoland area offering tebori.
Jake is a progressive artist who prioritizes the balance between respecting tradition and living in the modern world. As a progressive artist, he has crafted paintings that fuse modern culture with traditional Japanese motifs, showcasing pieces like biomech Fujin and biomech Raijin, along side Ninja Turtle-inspired backpiece designs featuring iconic characters such as Shredder, Master Splinter, and April O'Neil. While creating these innovative pieces, he still makes time to make classic traditional Japanese paintings. Outside of tattooing, Jake is a triathlete.
While tattooing, he listens to music from Dire Straits to chill hip-hop

Billy Flo
Fresh | Steady | Lively
@billyflotattoo | billyflotattoo@gmail.com
Billy has loved drawing since he was a kid. Determined to become a tattooer, he's stood overnight at our shop countless times, locked in honing his craft. Since 2024, he is often the first one in and last one out. Billy takes a thoughtful, unhurried approach to tattooing, giving each line and every bit of color the care it deserves- much like the steady focus he brings to a game of pool.
If he is not drawing, he plays league pool and breakdances. The vibes during a tattoo with Billy, watching episodes of Tom & Jerry, while listening to Balls & Pins by Khruangbin.
