This week we talk with realism and biomechanical pioneer Roman Abrego, who has tattooed for about 25 years, including in prison and on the streets. Roman shares his early life as a standout baseball athlete, his roots in San Bernardino and time in Wisconsin, and how meeting artists like Mike Cole, Carson Hill, Nick Baxter, shaped his path into hyperrealism and biomech. He reflects on building and running multiple shops (including in Yucaipa, Melrose, and Brazil), nonstop travel, long tattoo sessions, burnout, and the sacrifices tattooing can demand from family life. Roman discusses stepping back to reset, creating beyond tattooing, staying grounded, upcoming TV project plans, and offers advice to draw or create every day and keep pushing.
