Eric Rodriguez — Versatile Custom Tattoo Artist in Tucson

Eric Rodriguez is a senior tattoo artist at Broken Clover Tattoo known for versatile custom work, clean application, thoughtful composition, and an easygoing professional approach. He is a strong fit for clients who have a clear idea in mind, as well as clients who need help turning a loose concept into a tattoo that works on the body.

Eric works across a broad range of styles, including custom black-and-grey tattoos, lettering, anime and video-game designs, botanicals, blackwork, horror, Japanese-inspired imagery, traditional influence, animals, and larger multi-session projects. His portfolio reflects an artist comfortable moving between fine details, bold contrast, graphic designs, sentimental pieces, and full

Custom tattoos built around your idea

Some clients arrive with a finished reference image. Others have a subject, a personal story, several competing ideas, or only a general feeling they want the tattoo to carry. Eric works well with both.

Clients specifically praise him for drawing what they had in mind, staying open to changes, and helping refine the design until it feels right. That makes him a particularly good choice for custom projects where the client wants real artistic input without losing the original point of the tattoo.

Whether the project is a name, a memorial piece, a pet, a character, a floral design, a horror concept, or a larger sleeve, Eric focuses on clear lines, balanced shading, and a design that fits the placement instead of fighting it.

Clean work, efficient sessions, and a light hand

Eric is known for working efficiently without treating the tattoo like an assembly line. Clients describe clean work, strong lines and shading, a light hand, and a professional but friendly session experience.

That combination matters for both small and large tattoos. A simple lettering piece still needs clean execution. A larger sleeve or multi-session project needs a consistent approach to contrast, flow, and visual balance from one appointment to the next.

Eric’s goal is to make the process straightforward: understand the idea, make the right design decisions before tattooing begins, and deliver a finished piece the client feels good showing off.

Large-scale work, coverups, and reworks

Eric accepts large-scale projects, coverups, and reworks. He is a good fit for clients who want to build a tattoo into something more complete over time, improve an older piece, or start a larger composition that needs planning from the beginning.

For coverups and reworks, a consultation is important. The existing tattoo, its darkness, placement, and available skin all affect what is possible. Clear photos and honest expectations help Eric recommend the strongest direction.
