Yung Chavo

If you are searching for the absolute top tier of custom lettering and tribal tattoos in Los Angeles, your search stops with Yung Chavo. Deeply rooted in the Southern California street and tattoo culture, Yung Chavo has built an unstoppable reputation for creating some of the most unique, razor-sharp script and hypnotic tribal patterns in the game today.

Operating out of LA—and known for his highly professional work at spots like Timeless Gallery—Chavo isn't just picking fonts off a wall. He is an innovator. He has mastered multiple custom handstyles that seamlessly blend aggressive, street-level authenticity with flawless, clean application. When you see a Yung Chavo lettering piece on the streets, you know exactly who laid the ink. His flow, spacing, and bold blackwork make his script wrap perfectly with the natural anatomy of the body.

Beyond his mind-bending script, Chavo is also a master of intricate, heavy blackwork tribal. He is a true student of the craft who frequently collaborates with other heavy hitters in the industry, including legendary lettering artists like Norm and Tattoo Huero. He even teamed up with Tattoo Huero to drop the limited edition Rough, Rugged, and Raw—a book packed with pure, raw LA lettering and sketches.

Yung Chavo is the definition of an artist who puts his head down, respects the roots of the culture, and lets his massive portfolio speak for itself. He is keeping the authentic West Coast style alive and pushing it to new heights.
