Hometown: Houston, TX
“I've been tattooing professionally for 5 years.I took on a 2-year apprenticeship in East Texas, and then moved to New Braunfels, TX, here I tattooed at River Rat Tattoo for several years.Looking to move back into my hometown to be closer to family, I decided to make the move to Artistic Impressions because of the creative people and creative environment.Within my work, I try to express whatever it may be that my client is trying to convey. I would say I'm more predominately known for color work in original concepts that I create while still working with my client’s ideas. I very much enjoy the use of line weight, and dramatic perspectives in an original illustrative style.I like to use as many elements of design that I'm able to put into each piece. Artistically speaking, I'm influenced by a great number of people, namely other tattoo artists. I would say that my peers and coworkers, who push me every day, more predominantly influence me. For my clients, I have several expectations: Have a concise idea of what you are looking for.Understand that I custom design pieces of art for you to have forever, and that takes time. Also, I ask my clients to take care of their tattoos with as much integrity as I put into them. For any potential clients, I believe that if you want it, you can have it and I will be ready when you are. I'm Andrew Hoffman and I can do your tattoo.”
