Meet Rocky Martinez of Golden Daggers in Los Angeles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rocky Martinez.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Rocky. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Started tattooing 10 years ago in Los Angeles, after 6 years of working at the same place I decided it was time to take the next step and open my own studio, Golden Daggers.
Things take a lot more than they seem, but if you don’t stop trying you get em sooner or later.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It is a “rocky, dark road” lol

Please tell us about Golden Daggers.
We at Golden Daggers have 6 different artists with particular style, we are all different. I specialize in black traditional work myself and people come from around the globe just to get that from me, but we always welcome all kinds of clients, either is your first tattoo, larger scale, rework , cover up, we are here for u . We are a professional, experience staff in a friendly and sterile environment.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I will do the exactly the same all over again.
