Richard DC

I was born and raised on the West Side of San Antonio, and I've been tattooing for close to 15 years.

These days I spend most of my time on large-scale work. Sleeves, backs, torsos, and projects that are built over multiple sessions. I enjoy tattoos that work with the body, not against it. Good composition will always outlast trends.

My style leans toward Aztec Blackwork, Geometric, Mandala, and Neo-Traditional, but more than anything, I enjoy creating custom work made for the person wearing it.

I opened Prestige Collective in 2020 because I wanted to build the kind of shop I'd want to get tattooed in. Comfortable without feeling sterile. Professional without feeling uptight. A place where people can settle in, watch a movie, talk some shit, and leave with a tattoo they're proud of.

The people I work best with usually have an idea of what they want but aren't attached to every little detail. My job is to take that idea, make it fit your body, and create something that will look good for years to come. That's why people come to me.

If you trust the process, we'll probably make something you'll be excited to wear for the rest of your life.
