Life & Work with Stoke Lucero of Lakewood

Today we’d like to introduce you to Stoke Lucero.

Hi Stoke, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The humble beginnings of Nocturnal Tattoo started in 2013. It all started with a dream … after careful planning, things fell into place and Nocturnal Tattoo became a reality myself, Stoke Lucero and Ray Jimenez open Nocturnal Tattoo and worked day in an day out to keep the dream alive. After many years we opened a second location called Nocturnal 2. Both shops specialize in very creative custom tattoos. We have a variety of artists .we our really a tattoo shop with no limitations. Over the years we’ve accomplished many things world records, reality TV, we have been recognized and won multiple words across the board

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
One thing I would have to say is nothing’s ever too smooth of a road, but we are always learning always growing learning the best techniques and trying to keep up because the Tattoo industry is always growing and always evolving there really is no standing still

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
We are a tattoo shop that specializes in black and gray, realism, Neo, traditional, traditional, lettering, tattoos, we also do commission like airbrushing and illustrative art, we’re most proud of keeping a good reputation throughout the industry, and I would say what sets us apart is we can accommodate any style
