On any given week, when you walk into Lowrider Tattoo, you're likely to find a wide-eyed aspiring tattoo artist in town from Australia, Spain or Japan who is hovering greedily over Jose Lopez, the shop's owner/lead artist. The wheelchair-bound Lopez has won dozens of prestigious awards for his work after spending years in virtual seclusion developing his craft. Today, the shop's growing reputation as a place that consistently puts out solid, mesmerizing work by affable, gifted artists in a clean, professional environment is something Lopez and his team guard fiercely and nurture lovingly.
