Ever since he was a teenager, Hector Salazar has been exposed to the world of tattoos and art. Born in California but raised in Arizona, Hector has been fascinated with the overall tattoo culture. “I got my hands on my first tattoo magazine during high school, and I’ve been hooked ever since.” His interest never took a backseat as he pursued tattooing right after high school, and in 2001, began formalizing his career by completing his apprenticeship under Skylar Fiegel.
With over 20 years of experience having worked at several prominent tattoo shops such as Club Tattoo & Old Town Ink (as featured in Ink Master) Hector has tattooed over thousands of designs. Hector is a multifaceted artist specializing in American Traditional, Illustrative, Traditional Japanese, Black and Grey, Ornamental and Floral designs.
Hector has earned his reputation as delivering outstanding work with a smile. Hector believes “this is an important aspect of tattooing” that has enabled him to work with clients from all over the world. Hector works with only one rule: Customer service is a priority. "Allowing my clients to feel comfortable and to demonstrate they can expect quality work is key.”
As of December 2022, you can find him exclusively at his tattoo shop in Yuma, AZ. For Hector, this milestone is a combination of hard work and dedication and whose effects are entirely reflected on his clients’ work. For him, working at Hector Salazar Tattoos is a blessing and regarding his career, “As far as tattooing goes, it is my life.”
