I’ve known Toney for almost a decade now, he is a teacher, artist and friend you can truly trust! I highly recommend hiring him. He has been my one and only tattoo artist because I trust his designs and skill, his ability to execute is unmatched. He has had apprentices I’ve witnessed and his teaching is spectacular. He has amazing technique, you will not be disappointed!
Toney has been a part of our tattoo journey for over 15 years. His warm and comfortable demeanor makes the experience easy and his knowledge and articulation of the process are amazing. He listens carefully to your wants and skillfully translates your vision into an amazing work of art. His joy and passion radiate and is reflected in every piece he does. We are so proud to be a part of his tattoo family and to have our lives permanently and forever changed.
I know Toney through both personal and professional experiences. He has done several tattoos for me, and I’ve also had the chance to see a wide range of his artwork beyond tattooing.
Toney is not only technically skilled, he teaches from real, lived experience. During my sessions with him, he explained decisions around shading, composition, balance, and artistic intention in a way that made everything make sense. He doesn’t just create art, he walks you through the thinking behind it.
What truly stands out is his depth of cultural and historical knowledge. While working on my pieces, he shared the history and evolution of styles like Chicano fine-line tattooing, explaining where techniques originated and how they developed over time. Hearing those stories and learning the roots of the art while experiencing it firsthand made the process incredibly meaningful. His understanding comes from years of hands-on practice and immersion in the culture, not just theory.
He is patient, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping others grow. I highly recommend Toney to anyone looking for an art tutor who combines technical skill, cultural knowledge, and a calm, encouraging teaching style. Students won’t just improve their art, they’ll gain a deeper appreciation for it.I know Toney through tattooing. He has done about 8 tattoos on me and he is always incredibly professional, creative, and knowledge in his expertise, as well as kind and personable throughout our appointments together.
Toney was my mentor. He taught me everything I know about tattooing. Any question I had he had the answer to. He’s super kind, personable, knowledgeable, and interested in helping you learn! Best teacher you could ask for :)
Toney Flores and I know each other from mutual friends and disc golf together. I am very appreciative of how patient Toney is with others, he possess a calmness about himself that easily makes others comfortable in his presence. Toney and I have spent numerous hours together on the disc golf course, but our time spent together during the many hours of tattooing have allowed me to get to know “The Real Toney”! He is a treasure chest of knowledge and will gracefully guide those (who have REAL interest) in the art of ART! Toney is a very honest person, what you see is what you get! If you are lucky enough to have his time, it will be extremely beneficial as an artist and his wealth of knowledge is endless!!!
Knowing Toney from both a personal and professional perspective, I can attest to his rare ability to translate complex skills into clear, actionable steps. Learning any art form, is an intimidating process, but Toney bridges the gap between artistic theory and technical execution with incredible method.
What truly sets his teaching apart is his mastery of anatomical flow. He doesn’t just teach you how to draw; he teaches you how to shape an image to the body so that it is genuinely flattering and moves with the skin. During my apprenticeship, he provided the objective feedback necessary to master everything from drawing to needle depth. He is a disciplined and methodical mentor, perfect for any artist looking to transition from paper to skin with professional-grade confidence.I’ve known Toney my entire life, not just as my dad but as someone I’ve watched dedicate himself to art for over 25 years. Growing up around his work gave me a front-row seat to how passionate, disciplined, and skilled he is. I’ve seen firsthand how seriously he takes both his craft and the people he works with, always making sure they feel comfortable, understood, and confident in the creative process.
Toney is the kind of teacher who knows how to meet people where they are, whether they’re complete beginners or already experienced. He’s patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable about design, technique, and artistic fundamentals. Watching him guide others and seeing how proud they are of what they create with his help is honestly inspiring.
I recommend him to anyone on Superprof because he genuinely cares about helping others grow and succeed artistically. He’s professional, talented, and truly committed to his students’ progress.View more recommendations
