Nicholas Blanco is an artist at Fiveball Tattoo in Venice, California. Originally from San Diego, California, they primarily grew up in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, where their childhood was largely focused on skateboarding. Blanco was exposed to tattoo culture from an early age, first receiving tattoos at Inksmith & Rogers. At 21, they moved back to Southern California, beginning a new chapter centered on artistic expression. Nicholas Blanco is grateful to the world of tattooing and specifically credits Frank Ball Jr. for their entry into the craft.
