Ethan Gaige Duenas
Inspired by classic tattooing, vintage designs & cartoons of all kinds, I'm here to make traditional tattoos for the non-traditional person. My focus is on American traditional tattooing for its timeless imagery & mysteries but always open to new ideas & making your tattoo dreams come true in any way. My tattooing is available for all body types, skin tones, and peoples. I really value the time we spend during our appointments & will try my best to communicate with a client through their process for the best tattoo / experience; so any questions, concerns, or special circumstances, please let me know. My designs are thoughtful & I work very intentionally to give you the coolest + truest piece possible. Let's take our time and make sure it's done right.
San Diego born and raised, but I've lived in a handful of cities across the west, and prior to tattooing worked as a sign painter / muralist in Los Angeles. I love to travel so I'm always looking forward to the next adventure for work or for leisure. Outside of tattooing I love talking music, random hobbies or a variety of nerd culture. Feel free to bring it up if you're interested in getting to know me, or just looking to chat during your appointment. I can be long winded so thank you for reading & I hope to meet you soon!
If you're interested in getting a tattoo or checking out more of my work, you can mainly find me on instagram, where i can get back to you the fastest. Additionally you can send me an email mentioning "TATTOO" or give the shop a call any day between 10AM-6PM. I book seven days a week at In The Moon Tattoo and I am happy to accommodate for awkward schedules or late nights, depending on availability. If you are the spontaneous type, I take walk-ins Monday-Wednesday during usual shop hours. Otherwise, feel free to come by any day of the week for a consultation, or to check out my flash in person.
