John Valencia is a dedicated artist at Greyscale Tattoo Shop in Derby, CT. His journey into the world of tattooing began in 2005, sparked by his cousin, ‘Diablo,’ and a profound fascination with translating art onto skin. His passion was so strong that he received his first tattoo at the age of 14. After moving to the United States in 2008, John formally began his apprenticeship in 2010 under the guidance of his mentor, John Henao. His commitment to his craft was evident from the outset, as he would draw tirelessly for hours, a testament to his belief that the privilege of tattooing must be earned. John approaches each project with a focus on creating custom designs, ensuring every piece is thoughtfully crafted to meet the unique vision and needs of his clients.
