Stigma Ink Tattoo Studio - The Story Behind the Ink
In Mexico, Chino and his best friend and longstanding partner Jason (Edgar), Penagos established Stigma Ink. It began many years ago in Guadalajara Mexico. After working in numerous Orlando shops, they opened their tattoo shop. Chino and Edgar wanted to be distinctive and have a custom and artistic vibe. Chino's friend Edgar died in June 2008. Chino managed various tattoo shops over the years, even as head of sales for DPS (RockStar Ready Tattoo Supplies). Stigma Ink is also the sister shop of Estigma Tattoos, Spain, founded by Pablo Ash, a longtime friend who worked in the original Mexican shop with Chino, Edgar, and all the other crews before moving to Spain. After years in the making, supported by Chino's wife Mariely's help and planning, saving, and searching, their dream in Tampa, Florida can finally offer high-quality body art.
