I was born in the Dominican Republic. I come from a humble family of artists. Artists that never truly exercised their talent. "Art" was never something that was taken seriously where I am from. I was always criticized for "not knowing what I wanted" I got job after job searching for something that would satisfy my inner self. Something inside me knew that my art, my passion for drawing, and my creativity would lead me somewhere great. One day I decided to take my artistic skills to the next level. My interest in the world of tattoos sparked after a close friend of mine suggested it when he saw one of my drawings. I never looked back since. I was always taught that I had to do things well, or else I shouldn't do them at all. That is why I put my all into perfecting each and every tattoo I have the honor of working on.

Hands down the best experience I’ve had with an artist and to think he is right here in the DMV! 🤯 if you have a tattoo idea you’ve been wanting to do but are hesitant on the right artist just schedule a consultation and I have no doubt he will be your guy!”

“I had a wonderful experience at Achilles Tattoo Studio and received the exact tattoo I was hoping for from JD. JD's ability to pull off a finely detailed hand tattoo with such skill and precision was extraordinary. I have been lucky to be tattooed by a few very well accomplished and established artists. I will now turn only to JD for any future work I may want. I could not be happier with how the tattoo turned out. The fine line work is truly incredible. If you're considering where to get your next tattoo I would look no further!

01 - Consultation
We start with a conversation. You share your idea, references, and placement preferences. This step helps define the foundation of the piece.
02 - Direction & Planning
Based on the consultation, the overall direction is established. Size, placement, flow, and structure are considered to ensure the design fits the body naturally.
03 - Concept & Drawing
The design is developed from the agreed direction. This includes composition, line work, and visual balance. Each piece is created specifically for you.
04 - Refinement
The design is reviewed and adjusted as needed. Small refinements are made to improve clarity, proportion, and overall cohesion.
05 - The Tattoo
On the day of the appointment, the final design is applied. The focus is on precision, consistency, and comfort throughout the session.
06 - Aftercare & Continuation
Aftercare instructions are provided to support proper healing. Some pieces may be revisited later for touch-ups or additional work if desired.
