My name is Valentino Luafalemana II. I am a man of God, a father, and an artist originally from Carson, California. I started tattooing at the age of 19, back in January 2014. I specialize in Polynesian tattoos, black and grey realism, and lettering. I am also more than capable to tattoo most other styles as well. Unlike most, I did not begin my journey under an apprenticeship. I started out in a bedroom and completed my first tattoo on the backyard deck. I began as a freelance artist, picking up any type of work I could find, while also working a 9-5. Eventually, I would take up tattooing full time, which would be the most difficult, yet most rewarding decision I have ever made, as I sacrificed everything to pursue this dream of mine. The bottom, which is definitely an understatement, is exactly where I started. I was given nothing, but earned everything.
