Hey, I’m Wilfredo Soriano, a 23-year-old tattoo artist based in Ellicott City, Maryland. I’ve been tattooing professionally since Dec 2021. My specialty is black and grey(Realism, Illustrative, Fine line, Japanese, and Traditional), but I love doing all kinds of styles and really enjoy color. As an artist, I have experience with many mediums and processes, so whatever the best way to bring your vision to life is, that’s what we go with!

Some background on me, I was born in a small town near Sonsonate, El Salvador. Since I can remember, I’ve been drawing anything that interests me, from animals, Spiderman, Dragon Ball, and Pokémon. I get sucked into the stories and worlds of movies, TV, or video games, and I've always wanted to create something like that. But there weren't many opportunities where I'm from, so my parents brought me to America when I was 7 in hopes of giving me a better life and education.. So I threw away the security and cushy life they wanted and chased my dreams. Of course, my mom fainted when I told her I wasn’t going to college and became a tattoo artist instead. And after years of struggling, being dead broke, eating tortillas with lime and salt, I can finally support my family doing something I love.

In December of 2023, I opened my own shop, Crows Nest Tattoos, with my best friend and mentor. Now my work days are spent talking shit with my friends and drawing. What more can you ask for!
