At Stigma Ink, we are a family-owned and operated tattoo and piercing studio, dedicated to providing a unique and personalized experience for our clients. Our story began over a decade ago, when our founder, Chino, had a dream to create a studio that would not only provide high-quality tattoos and piercings but also a welcoming and professional environment for our clients.
Our History
Founded by Chino and his long-time best friend, Jason (Edgar) Penagos, Stigma Ink originally began in Guadalajara, Mexico, before moving to the United States. Unfortunately, Edgar passed away in 2008. However, Chino spent the next 13 years working in the tattoo supply business, traveling, and meeting artists from all over the world. With the help of his wife, Mariely, and after many years of careful planning and preparation, Chino's dream was finally realized in the heart of Tampa, Florida, in 2011.
