Chris Moniz - Calgary Based Airbrush and Tattoo Artist
Hey yo! I’m Chris Moniz and I art all the time based here in Calgary Alberta. My main passions are tattoos and airbrush art. I’m here to make your vision a reality!
Tattoo Artist
As a tattoo artist, my journey has been nothing short of remarkable. What truly distinguishes tattoos from any other art form is the human interaction it fosters with people. Each tattoo becomes a part of someone's life story.
Airbrush Artist
My canvas doesn't stop at tattoos alone. It has expanded to embrace airbrushing as well. These two art forms, seemingly distinct, intertwine and expand my creative process.
About me: A Life of Artistry
From my earliest memories, I’ve been immersed in the world of art. As a kid, I’d sketch for my classmates, secretly hoping it would boost their grades—until I got caught, of course!
Fast-forward to 1994: I stepped into the realm of tattooing through an apprenticeship. Back then, tattoos weren’t as mainstream, and we artists took on whatever walked through the door. Today, that spirit remains. I thrive on versatility, working across various tattoo styles to co-create with my clients.
Calgary, Alberta, became my home in 2012. A couple of years down the road, I proudly accepted an award for my cover-up tattoo work. While some may not consider cover-ups a specialty, it’s a skill I’ve honed over countless years.
Currently, you’ll find me at Low Life Studios, nestled in Kensington, Calgary.
In 2018, airbrushing became my side hustle. My first airbrush class ignited a passion, leading to an apprenticeship with JBo Airbrush in April 2023. Now, my weekdays are a blend of tattooing and airbrushing.
So, whether it’s a tattoo or an airbrush project, I look forward to new artistic journeys with you! Let’s take your ideas and create something wicked!
Tattoos
People often inquire about my tattoo specialty. However, I’ve never felt compelled to limit myself to a single style. As someone who appreciates all facets of tattoo art, my focus lies in ensuring my client’s satisfaction. While I do lean towards realism, I also find patterns and abstract styles fascinating.
Cover up Tattoos
I excel at covering up old or unwanted tattoos, a skill I’ve honed over decades. While I don’t perform cosmetic tattooing, I specialize in placing tattoos over settled scarring. During a cover-up consultation, I provide guidance on what’s achievable and outline the cover up process.
Airbrush
I possess the ability to airbrush on a variety of paintable surfaces, including metals, plastics and textiles. While I don’t have the capacity to handle entire vehicles, I am able to airbrush parts the have been removed. In addition to my independent projects, I collaborate with JBo Airbrush, providing assistance on his endeavors.
I go Above and Beyond for My Tattoo Clients
Bringing Your Vision to Life with Dedication and Precision
As a tattooer, my mission is simple. I create high-quality tattoos while ensuring an experience that’s seamless, comfortable, and tailored to each client. I take pride in my craft, treating every project as a collaboration where your ideas and my artistry come together to form something truly unique.
Whether it’s your first tattoo or a large-scale custom piece, I strive to provide not just ink, but an experience that leaves you confident and excited about your new work. That’s why I’ve introduced the Day Rate Tattoo Advantage, which is a pricing structure designed for those looking to invest in larger, more detailed tattoos while saving on overall costs.
