Meet Pino Martinez

We had the good fortune of connecting with Pino Martinez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Pino, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
My favorite quote is with no risks comes no reward, I would keep reminding myself that I am never alone on my journey. I embrace challenges with determination and faith, knowing that divine guidance is always with me.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a tattoo artist for 17 years, I specialize in detailed portraits What sets me apart is my commitment of my tattoos and transitioning to acting.
After closing my shop due to the pandemic I felt was a drastic change at the time. Facing homelessness in Los Angeles for 2 years was challenging, but my determination kept me going. I can definitely say I learned that “With no risk comes no reward”

Now, I’m proud to have my own humble place in Beverly Hills while still pursuing tattooing, acting, and now working on my upcoming clothing line. My journey has taught me the value of hard work. I want the world to know that my story proves that challenges can lead to opportunities.
