Rico Jones

Ink Runners is a Black-owned studio in Clearwater, FL, owned and operated by Rico Jones.

Rico builds tattoos the long way: a real conversation about the idea, a drawing made for your body, and a session planned around how the piece needs to heal. Black and gray and realism are his home base — portraits, animals, ornamental work — and he pushes hard contrast so a piece still reads years from now.

He also does clean script and lettering, bold color, and cover-ups that actually hide what came before instead of arguing with it.

Sessions are limited on purpose. If you book, you get drawing time, straight answers on what will and won't work, and a quote before the needle touches skin.
