Mr. Siego has been tattooing in the Chicano tradition for over 20 years. His work blends the iconic imagery of Chicano art — La Virgen de Guadalupe, Aztec warriors, sugar skulls, lowrider culture, and portrait work — with the technical precision of contemporary black and grey realism. The result is work that is both culturally authentic and visually exceptional.
Chicano tattooing has deep roots in Austin's Latino community, and Mr. Siego has been a part of that community for decades. His clients come from across Central Texas — from Austin's East Side to Round Rock to San Antonio — for work that respects the tradition while pushing it forward.
If you're looking for an authentic Chicano tattoo artist in Austin TX, Mr. Siego at Blindside Tattoo Studio is your artist. His portfolio spans traditional Chicano iconography, portrait work, custom black and grey pieces, and large-scale Chicano-influenced compositions.
