Meet the artists behind Uppercuts. Realism, portraits, cover-ups, fine line, Japanese, traditional and fully custom work, tattooed in Maple Ridge, with Walnut Grove opening soon.

MAPLE RIDGE

Alexandro (Alex)

Alex has been tattooing for seventeen years. Originally from Mexico, he built the Uppercuts name in Maple Ridge on realism, portraits and cover-ups, the kind of work where every detail has to land.

He is just as happy experimenting with something new. Bring him an idea, a photo or a tattoo you want covered, and he will turn it into a design made for you.

Specialties: realism, portraits, cover-ups, custom design.
Books at: Maple Ridge.

MAPLE RIDGE & WALNUT GROVE (SOON)

Leon Santos

Leon brings more than fifteen years of tattooing and one of the widest ranges you will find in one chair: fine line, Japanese, traditional, black and grey, full-colour realism, animals, anime, new school, cartoons and fully custom design.

He tattoos at our Maple Ridge studio now, and will also work at our Walnut Grove studio inside Uppercuts Barbershop when it opens.

Specialties: fine line, Japanese, traditional, black and grey, colour realism, anime, new school.
Books at: Maple Ridge (online). Walnut Grove opening soon.

Really professional guy, come up with great advice on tattoo orientation to optimize the covering of the old tattoo.  I do recommend  contact Alexandro at UPPERCUT TATTOO for your project.
