Aaron Cooper started tattooing in 1990. He got his start in Virginia working at a very well known shop. He worked at a few places here and there before settling in Santa Cruz in 2001. Aaron has seen the industry change and grow over the course of almost 30 years of his tattooing career. He tries to stay up to date on all the new and ever-changing styles coming out these days, but some of his favorites are portraits, realism and fantasy based ideas. Aaron believes that if the idea can be executed into a killer tattoo, he’s gonna make it happen.
