What My Clients Are Saying

  • I had an old tattoo that I’d been wanting to cover up for years, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Grant took the time to work with what was already there and completely transformed it into something I’m proud to have on my skin.

    His attention to detail and the quality of his work are incredible. The whole experience was comfortable and professional, and the finished tattoo exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality tattoo work, especially a cover-up.

  • Super dope experience every time! I’ve been to Grant for my last four tattoos, and he never disappoints. The atmosphere is always relaxed, the quality of his work is unreal, and you can tell he takes pride in every detail. He always makes sure you’re comfortable, and the fact that he lets me throw on my own playlist during sessions makes the experience even better. Great vibes, incredible tattoos, and someone I’ll definitely keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    Matt / Multi Tattoo Client

  • I got five tattoos with Grant at House of Paco, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Each one was a small, detailed piece, and he put so much care and intention into designing them with me. He really listened to what I envisioned and took the time to get every detail right. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable asking for adjustments—you can tell he genuinely cares about you loving what you’re getting.

    Beyond the beautiful work, Grant makes the whole experience feel relaxed, welcoming, and comfortable. He’s great company, easy to talk to, and made the time just as enjoyable as the finished tattoos.

    If you’re looking for an artist who gives small, intricate tattoos the attention they deserve, I can’t recommend Grant and House of Paco enough. Thoughtful design, beautiful detail, and such a good overall vibe. I’m so happy with all five!

    Morgan / Multi Tattoo Client

  • I met Grant a few years ago through mutual friends. At the time, I had a small dream of getting a few tattoos on my arm but had no idea where to start.

    I gave Grant some basic ideas of what I was looking for, but not much more than that. He took those simple ideas and immediately started using his creativity, imagination, and technical skills to come up with several options (one better than the next!). He somehow nailed exactly what I had envisioned without me even being able to fully explain it. My left arm is almost complete (something I never thought I’d say about having a sleeve!), and we’re already planning more!

    Grant is an absolutely incredible person who goes above and beyond for his clients, from the initial planning to the actual tattooing and follow-ups. He has never once made me feel pressured or uncomfortable. He takes his time, explains every step along the way, and makes sure I’m informed and comfortable with every decision. Every appointment feels like hanging out with a buddy, and his studio is comfortable and welcoming, which makes a big difference when you’re sitting for hours at a time.

    I honestly couldn’t recommend Grant more. He’s an incredibly talented artist with a real gift for creating art that goes beyond just a tattoo. I’m so glad our paths crossed, and I’m looking forward to many more sessions to come. Thanks for everything, Grant.

  • Went to see Grant at his shop, House of Paco, about a Doom tattoo, and he blew my mind with the design he came up with. The attention to detail, shading, depth- everything was next-level talent. Then I saw his studio, and his setup is so inviting, professional and creative. His hospitality is off the chain, with the option to watch movies/shows while you get ink done, and he was always making sure I was doing alright. His artwork translated exactly from photo to leg, and he did a great job explaining aftercare. I would recommend him to anyone looking for amazing artwork, cause he can execute portraits with amazing hyperrealism.
