Tattooing for Rando Baggs isn't just a profession; it's a lifelong passion that has only deepened over his 15-year journey. Starting with a formal apprenticeship under a biker in Pico Rivera, Rando quickly found himself enchanted by the art's rich history and the unique stories each tattoo can tell. Despite honing his craft over the years, Rando admits that tattooing becomes more challenging the longer he practices, a testament to his commitment to improvement and mastery.

Rando operates in a bustling military town, where he embraces the role of a street shop tattooer. His style is grounded in versatility, aiming to fulfill each client's vision while engaging in lively conversation. This ability to connect with people, paired with his dedication to giving clean, quality tattoos, has made him a beloved figure in the tattoo community.

Fueled by his love for the art form itself, Rando is inspired by the intricate designs, the community spirit, and the way of life inherent to tattooing. It was the mysterious and almost magical essence of tattooing that initially captivated him, drawing him into a world that was once shrouded in secrecy. Even today, the tactile experience of working with old coil machines and the creative process of painting continue to fascinate him. For Rando, tattooing isn't just about the artwork; it's about living a life brimming with stories, motorcycles, bad jokes, and the profound satisfaction of drawing on people for a living.
